I've personally never installed any of the others on any of my systems, while I do have openssh-server installed on all of my systems. The actual request is to make it easier to have openssh-server installed so that users can straight away access the newly installed system over ssh, nothing more and nothing less. So IMO we need a task that does exactly that, and nothing more. It seems to me that anybody wanting to set up something like a login server or sftp server will be able to install any packages needed for that manually. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
