Package: tasksel-data Version: 2.66 Severity: wishlist This is not about http://bugs.debian.org/176089 .
The heart of the tasksel-data is debian-tasks.desc and it seems to be used by gnome-tasksel and aptitude for creating tasklist. (If I am wrong here, please close this bug.) tasksel-data is a data so should not force to install one command tool (tasksel) which accesses it while the others (aptitude, gnome-tasksel, ...) may be the one accesing it for some people. So removing "Depends: tasksel" from tasksel-data package seems to be the right thing to do. I know if you do this right now, it will be a mess since currently gnome-tasksel is depending on tasksel instaed of tasksel-data and aptitude is recommending tasksel instaed of tasksel-data. So this needs to be cordinated with gnome-tasksel, aptitude, and .... As I speak about "Depends:" line in tasksel-data, laptop-detect is another one which looked odd. But this is OK since these are the system guessing criteria data in the form of small architectue independent codes which may be used by others.
