Dear Maintainer,
Short story: task selection is ignored in speech synthesis mode. This is
due to a regression in the cdebconf text frontend. The issue is easily
fixed, and I propose the following patch:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/cdebconf/-/merge_requests/18
Longer story: the issue is easy to reproduce, just fire the debian
installer (daily build), select speech synthesis install, and when comes
the time to select the tasks, select something that is not the default.
For example, I select '1 4 10 11 12', and then pretty much nothing gets
installed. After reboot, there is just a console. `dpkg -l | wc -l`
tells me that 256 packages are installed. No desktop environment.
It's possible to see the issue with `DEBCONF_DEBUG=.` on the kernel
cmdline. The offending part of the syslog:
Nov 30 00:36:23 debconf: --> GET tasksel/first
Nov 30 00:36:23 debconf: <-- 0
Nov 30 00:36:23 in-target: debconf (developer): <---- (passthrough) 0
Nov 30 00:36:23 in-target: debconf (developer): Got "" for tasksel/first
The second line shouldn't be empty.
I CC Samuel, as he reworked the text frontend lately, it will be
straightforward for him to review and ack my patch (or fix it
differently, at your preference Samuel).
The issue was originally reported against Kali Linux:

Thanks!
Arnaud
