Per these:

What's the consequences if I don't install the "standard system utilities" of Debian?

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities

there are three priority levels of packages:

  • required
  • important
  • standard

I understand that required packages are installed by default. standard packages are optional and can be selected during installation.

What about the important ones? Are they also installed by default?

Thanks

Important packages will be installed by default.

7.7. What is an Essential, Required, Important, Standard, Optional, or Extra package?

Important packages should be found on any Unix-like system.

Other packages which the system will not run well or be usable without will be here. This does NOT include Emacs or X or TeX or any other large application. These packages only constitute the bare infrastructure.
