Indeed, scheme-tetex grew since it was created, mainly because it
contains collection.

You can derive a package list from

  ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2008/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb

But keep in mind that a lot of things had been changed since then, for
example hyphenation patterns.  Maybe it's best to start with a minimal
installation of TL-2015 and install further packages when the basic
stuff works properly.
