As it's just an environment variable you can combine them as you
like.

But /usr/sbin/remove-packages-server isn't executed in
non-interactive mode at all, so don't care about it.

You can furthermore tune grml2hd through /etc/grml2hd/customization
- this way you can define what should be executed and what not.

It's not harddisk space but as documented in the dialog of
remove-packages-server:

| Some packages are useful only for server systems. Some other
| packages provide cron jobs you probably do not want to run. It is
| recommended to remove those packages.
