Hello Blair,

As a rule I typically do minimal installations with just openssh.  The
Freeside Debian packages typically have the proper dependencies so
installing them doesn't typically take a lot of work.
A few things I did note during my last install was it had some issues
working around installing ssmtp and there is still a dependency that
tries to bring libev-perl in which will completely break apache.  To
get around these you can preinstall ssmtp so it is already there and on
your apt install line include libev-perl- and it should install without
any troubles.

Cheers,
