Package: tasksel Version: 2.81 Severity: minor Tags: squeeze Hi, one of the first things that I do on each freshly installed Debian desktop system is deinstalling the gnome-accessibility packages, i.e. dasher, gok and gnome-orca plus all of their dependencies. The reason is, I am lucky enough to not depend on any of these software for my daily work. On the other hand I wonder (and this is really more of a question than a statement) if it is really necessary to have all these packages installed by default? I mean, is it possible at all for a person with disabilities to install Debian and use it from d-i on without the help of another person? And if the answer is "no", couldn't we expect this helping person to also install all the necessary accessibility packages, too? Please reconsider if gnome-accessibility does have to get installed by default. Please don't get me wrong, but I believe the number of computer users with disabilities who can use their computer ad-hoc just because gnome-accessibility is installed is rather low. If you find this bug report inappropriate, please feel free to close it. Cheers, Fabian
