Bug#376799: tasksel: Please support multi-language installations
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.49
Severity: wishlist
That suggestion popped in my mind quite quickly and I didn't took much time
to deeply think abou tit, but wanted to record it.
I suggest we consider supporting "multi-language" installations. We
currently offer users a possibility to select more than one locale in the
localechooser step: this ends up in localechooser/supported-locales.
So, an interesting option would then be to have tasksel either:
-re-propose the language tasks list like it did in the past, maybe only at
medium priority...or only when localechooser/supported-locales includes more
than one language in the supported locales
-automatically select the language tasks for all the languages derived from
localechooser/supported-locales
