It's not absolute minimal, you'd have to do it in a specific order (which is
extremely hard to compute) to use absolute minimal space. (In theory,
reverse dependency order would be it for installations, but for upgrades a
reverse dependency can also force an upgrade, so it's not quite that
obvious, and even for installations, there are circular dependencies
meaning the reverse dependency order does not actually exist.)
