Re: Proposing task-debian

[Sam Powers]

While we're discussing what's wrong with task packages, I'd like to pick on 
them a little more:
Task packages make things like task-gnome-desktop very easy to install, but 
removing the packages which are installed can sometimes be really tough, if 
you just wanted to try out gnome, for example.
Perhaps task packages should be required to flag their dependencies for 
removal in their prerm to ease removal of the entire package group. (probably 
a better name for this type of package..)
Any better ideas?
