I have removed some of those packages (mostly horde and a couple others). 
However at least libphp-swiftmailer can't be removed currently. symfony depends 
on php-monolog which depends on libphp-swiftmailer.

Also there's a chain in php-opis-closure -> php-zumba-json-serializer -> 
phpmyadmin-sql-parser -> phpmyadmin.

So those need to be looked at, alongside the applications (mediawiki, 
phpmyadmin, etc).

Cheers,
