OK. > > Yeah, "task" here really means "task as understood by tasksel/defined by > Packages file", not "something similar to a task implemented as metapackage". Hmm, I wonder whether they should be tasks as understood by tasksel? What I want is a way of keeping an eye on packages in one of these metapackages to see that they are at least vaguely up to date and not full of RC bugs. I was then going to add it to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience in the hope that scientists will help squash bugs in the science packages - and spot that maintainers have gone MIA. To achieve this, it would be possible to construct a URL by hand - but if I do this, it will rapidly become out of sync with the metapackage. It ought to be possible to generate this list from the package - but that wouldn't be possible in the wiki (I don't think). Is there another easy way that I've missed.
