(NOTE: please dont' take this personally...you are one of *MANY* who hold this same opinion about the tasks for KDE...and you are not complaining but rather asking so I'm not even near upset about this...) Ok...The ONLY purpose I have for the tasks for KDE is to create fake packages that make up each of the individual kde* upstream packages. task-kdenetwork = kdenetwork task-kdeadmin = kdeadmin etc... If I keep taking out subpackages because they depend on other packages not found in the main packages then I'm going to end up with a bunch of tasks that only suggest other packages. Where does one draw the line? If I make all the sub task-* packages suggests then task-kde would be pretty pointless... as it is now, there is no way for one to just do a apt-get install task-kde and get EVERY KDE package... there is no real clean way to handle tasks at the moment and the current task packages sucks I know..but... my opinion is that yea..so what if a apt-get install task-kde installs ppp, or installs something else you don't want (I can understand the gripes about a ftp server being installed)...don't use apt-get install for install tasks. use dselect, console-apt, or one of the other programs that are coming out. fine tune you install.
