I agree. Maybe a better word than minimal would be foundational
(dependent in the generic sense of the word).
To make an example:
gnome3: "Minimal Install" + mesa-dri-drivers xorg-x11-server-Xorg
xorg-x11-drivers gnome-session-xsession gnome-shell telepathy-logger
(and possibly control-center)
(FWIW, I guess telepathy-logger should be a dependency of gnome-shell)
