Well, it is not that bad - some of the above mentioned packages are just
"recommended".

Go to Synaptic / Settings / Preferences and check off the "Consider
Recommended packages as dependencies", or you can safely remove them
(definitely dolphin, konqueror). But phonon stays in.

And what's better: digiKam then opens Nautilus as File manager...
