That's what we've with desktop, kde-desktop and xfce-desktop and we don't need a pile of new tasks on the installer, yes. Some new tasks to be installed using gnome-app-install or synaptic? Probably, but should be evaluated - wishlist bugs against tasksel with a rationale and list of packages is welcome. Btw, desktop-c-gtk-devel and desktop-python-gtk-devel makes no sense, IMHO. It's too specific that we will need desktop-$every_language_in_debian-gtk-devel. What a task like desktop-php-devel will contain, vim? For those who like emacs are we going to add desktop-php-emacs-devel? Please think about needed use cases (ask debian-user, check popcon, ...) and set of packages that should satisfy that, not some cool random task names. regards, -- stratus http://stratusandtheswirl.blogspot.com get debian @ http://get.debian.net/
