Current tasksel version only read .desc files on
/usr/share/tasksel. All need be included there.
Guessing from the education-tasks package it might be that it calls
/usr/lib/tasksel/package/task-files to find out which tasks are available.
I have no time to study the tasksel code.

This can be changed, possible, for task-cdd to leave clear this is
used by one.
I hope so.

Why? I don't see a reason.

   $ grep ^Packages: /usr/share/tasksel/debian-edu-tasks.desc | uniq
   Packages: task-files

Is this a reference to the binary above which prints the available tasks
or is it just a reference to the directory /usr/share/tasksel/task-files ????
If it is the later one I would break tasksel if I would move the files to
   /usr/share/tasksel/task-files/education
for instance.  We either need some docs or someone has to study the code.

Sure. I was looking at it yestarday and is same I was
thinking. -commom should be used like any other task.
Well at least it is special in this way that each other task should depend from
common and common itself should depend from
     adduser, debconf (>= 1.2), menu, cdd-common (>= <latest>)
to ensure that all things work well

Only another issue. I think we should release the version as 0.3.10
and not 0.3.9.1 OR 0.3.90 like GNOME does.
That's fine for me.  I have no preferences about naming shemes as long as it
is clear that we have not reached 0.4 which I would like to see in unstable
instead of experimental.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
