Running this script on 2013-09-25-wheezy-raspbian.img (the latest one) will reduce it to a size of 656 MB.
Some notes should be made. I use nano, as it's lite and does what I need. So to have vim and ed installed makes no sense. I also removed samba, as I have ftpd running and to me, they're the same service.
The order is somewhat important. For instance, not removing the python_games folder, will cause problems for the apt-get autoremove command with 'python*'.
I also used a slightly different remove command for the /opt directory. Removing it like you have done affects some important commands, so I didn't include it.
Also, if you are interested in trying to reduce it further, I found this command to be very helpful and revealing:
# dpkg --get-selections
That command will list all installed software.
