Hi Cyril, Just as a reminder for the upcoming alpha that I was trying to do something about this by adding an extra simplified tasksel promt:

I just applied that as a patch to pkgsel and pushed it as pu/simple_tasksel
It just occurred to me that if we made the list of tasks for each choice
be in the template, then it avoids hard-wiring the tasks in the code,
and it should be easier to preseed, so might serve as a customisable menu
for the likes of debian-edu -- I've added that as a subsequent commit,
but that's yet to be tested. I should have time to test that this evening.
The template needs proper anotation for translators.
I think it might well be better to replace 'standard' with 'default'.
BTW as it stands, the server option doesn't bother installing CUPS,
despite that being in the default tasksel set -- That was based on
Colin's comment that task-cups needs a rethink, and is currently a bit
useless.
Cheers, Phil.
