Turning Red Hat 7.1 into Debian testing: cruft removal

The first part was finding all packages that we inherited from RH 7.1 and were pure cruft we never needed (X server, fonts, font server for headless machines without X local or remote, etc...)
Next is finding things that made sense to ship as part of RH 7.1, but were useless to us (locales and man pages in other languages, i18n/charmaps, keyboard mappings, etc...)
It's amazing how many packages come with a distro that you don't really need on servers.
Old libraries that you find out nothing is using (libtiff, libjpeg, libpng, libdb2, libncurses4, libtermcap ...)
You can recompile daemons without libwrap, etc...
We actually ended up with no C++ left, so libstc++ could go.
