Package: base-config Version: 2.53.4 Severity: wishlist in /usr/lib/base-config/menu/pkgsel: if ! tasksel -ris $tasksel_param; then the options "-ris" are hard-coded to install required, important and standard packages. this ends up installing gcc, g++, libc6-dev and a number of other packages which are not needed on many desktop or other installations, and takes up considerable space on a small hard drive. possibly through a hidden or low-priority debconf question, it would be useful to not have tasksel install important and standard packages(i.e. make the "i" and "s" options configurable instead of hard-coded). live well, vagrant -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.59 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.5.27 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsdutils 1:2.12-10 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-46 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-55 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.4.30.10 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii gettext-base 0.14.1-6 GNU Internationalization utilities ii passwd 1:4.0.3-30.4 Change and administer password and -- debconf information excluded
