You generally want only one media center installed, no? But what we could do is to identify user tasks. Then, instead of providing metapackages or tasksel files, we list all applications in debian that can fulfill the purpose of that task, and give recommendations for the 'best' application in that task. The first idea is probably implemented most easily with debtags, while for the second we could consider popcon data. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
