I think it makes as much sense as the existing task packages. For example, we have task packages for roxen (task-webserver-roxen), roxen2 (task-webserver-roxen2), and PostgreSQL (task-database-pg). These refer to specific implementations of a task, not just an abstract task. Perhaps task-devel-emacs would be the logical analogue. In many Linux distributions, Emacs is a high-level installation task, like "Games" or "Mail". This makes sense to the average user, who usually either wants Emacs or does not. -- - mdz
