Hi gents,

i have some Debian hosts that should get a standard desktop and it
will be Puppets job to make sure the packages are installed. However,
it seems ,,package'' only installs packages, not Debian tasks. Right i
have to get a list of packages manually, like this:

  tasksel -t --task-packages gnome-desktop --task-packages german-
desktop --task-packages desktop

I get a list of 55 packages, wich i then use like this:

  package { ["epiphany-browser","gnome","openoffice.org-gnome" ... and
52 more packages]:
    ensure => installed
  }

However, what if the selection of packages changes? Is there a more
clever way to install tasks with tasksel, without listing each and
every package the tasksel task is made of?
