gnome-tasksel was ancient code that I've adopted and asked its removal. You've the tasksel GNOME debconf frontend as cited by Joey Hess and synaptic. I think that the synaptic UI for tasks should be better, but I would like to focus on some task changes before jump on that or even add task support into gnome-app-install that would look cool if we attribute icons for every task (#376635) in a way that it will work for g-a-i, synaptic, and GNOME debconf frontend including d-i. regards, -- stratus http://stratusandtheswirl.blogspot.com get debian @ http://get.debian.net/
