IIRC the "standard Unix system" task is determined by package
priority, not by any hardcoded list of packages in tasksel. Between
Debian jessie and stretch, net-tools switched from priority important
to priority optional. I can't see anything in the package changelog
but the change happened in the source package so presumably it was
deliberate.
