On a related note, could we have something similar for netstd, so
people don't go nuts looking for nfs-server, telnet and talk?
(netstd's description is also misleading, at least through
3.07-7slink.1, the current version on m68k's slink). This will at
least catch people who use apt or straight dpkg (instead of dselect,
which will select at least some of these packages since they are
standard).
