Debian can be very easily tuned to fit your needs. However, it looks
like you are looking for a distro that is at the same time widespread,
with a large community, and fits your very precise and uncommon needs

Documentation is not *required*, it is suggested

APT::Install-Suggests "0";
APT::Install-Recommends "0";

to Debian need to pay more attention to space efficiency.
