Fixed.

Fixed.

Maybe in the german-desktop task since the package's description says
that hunspell is used in OOo. I'd need confirmation that hunspell is
really used by OOo and that it's the best choice, since I'm not a German
speaker I can't determine this on my own.

This is a known issue with tasksel since it currently includes both
gnome and kde localisations stuff into the lang-desktop tasks. It may
eventually get fixed by splitting out lang-gnome-desktop and
lang-kde-desktop tasks.

ITYM firefox-gnome-support.

Yes, both firefox and epiphany are installed. This reflects the fact
that gnome's standard browser is epiphany, and the gnome desktop task
installs a standard gnome desktop, but many users prefer firefox.
