Anyone ever thought about having task-* packages with Priority: standard and pre-selecting them in tasksel (either with special switch or by default)? Then everyone not wanting e.g. task-c-dev (whose "components" are mostly Pri: standard now) can easily turn it off. Then we can also have a task-important-pkgs to make it possible to _not_ install Pri: important packages when using the `simple' install method. Regards, Anne Bezemer
