	Ill-informed? How about poorly documented task proposals
 which did not reflect reality? the changelog entry was taken straignt
 out of the task porposal as presented to the policy group; and since
 there has been no mention in the last few months in debian-devel, is
 it surprising that I assumed that the proposers of tasksel knew what
 they were talking about the proposal.
