Automatic generation should be no big problem. And these packages
should probably be marked for installation with --set-selection. There
is no real need for a important-packages package in the distribution,
or would it be useful for some users?
The differences in the architectures are a pain. The current master
file for the profiles has quite some arch dependant parts. So either
the tasks should not contain packages which are unavailable for a
architecture, or when a tasks contains such packages, then each
architecture needs a individual package for the task. Ugly, but still
doable it seems.
Ciao,
