Perhaps it would be worth packaging "client" and "server" stuff separately?
As a dial-up 'netter, I don't have much use for httpd/gopherd/gated and
friends, but ftptool and the likes are essential!  (A "graphical client"
package could also include a script to ncftp and install Netscape, kind
of like OS/2 Warp has an icon which goes and fetches their Web browser.)
