We had a discussion with Colin at Debconf about this. He agrees that having a task for a single package is kind of silly....but on the other hand, there is a need for something that has been enough, for instance, for Ubuntu to create an "SSH server" task...with only openssh-server. An interesting proposal that Colin made was to converge towards a task named "Login server" or something similar, that would include openssh-server, along with other packages such as denyhosts (or sshguard), rssh (Restricted shell allowing scp, sftp, cvs, svn, rsync or rdist), molly-guard (protects machines from accidental shutdowns/reboots)...
