Package: tasksel
Version: 2.89
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
the changelog of xorg-server (2:1.9.4-2) reveals the following:
In a nutshell, one may want to choose between installing:
- xserver-xorg-core: the server itself, with no strings attached.
- xserver-xorg: pulls the server and drivers, contains the X wrapper
and some documentation.
- xorg: pulls xserver-xorg as well as various X11 clients and fonts.
Currently the desktop task of tasksel installs the whole xorg package and thus
pulls in a lot of utility packages. I think tasksel should only install the
xserver-xorg package instead. I mean, do we really need twm and xcalc when
tasksel installs an entire desktop environment?
