boy you are really off base here when it comes to tasks. If it soley contains
documentation then it wouldn't be a task. it would be a -doc package.

well...anyone who does that should be slapped. Really...I mean looking at
the description and the debconf note as well as the documentation that comes
with the package one should be committed for thinking that.
Description: Anti Aliasing metapacakge
A metapackage containing dependencies for packages which are required or
recommended for a Anti-Aliased environment.
.
This package also contains example configuration files and howto's to aid
in configuration of your AA environment.
the description alone does not say it configures everything for you.
and then...at the top of the README file that comes with the package:
"For starters...this package does not create a AA environment for you."
but of course I guess you would actually have to take a look at the package
first before you would know this.
