netinst CD image - too big, vaguely specified?

http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#netinst says in part:
"This single CD contains *just the minimal amount* of software to start the installation and fetch the remaining packages over the Internet." [emphasis *added*]

I've browsed through debian-6.0.4-i386-netinst.list. It appears to contains files of unlikely interest to me (C compiler and header files, firewire, traceroute, etc).

I also did not find any description of how fine the user control of packages to be downloaded is.
