Re: Filed Bug#758096: tasksel: Allow to select specific packages during installation - just "DE", "Web server", "Mail server" is NOT enough

Beeing inspired by the recent discussion on Blends list, I'd like
to add a pointer to the thread basically starting here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-blends/2014/08/msg00004.html
Currently we can provide tasksel control files in the following
Blends (packages):
Debian Edu (edu-tasks)
Debian Games (games-tasks)
Debian GIS (gis-tasks)
Debian Junior (junior-tasks)
Debian Med (med-tasks)
Debian Science (science-tasks)
DebiChem (debichem-tasks)
The packages contain a file
/usr/share/tasksel/descs/<blendname>-tasks.desc
and the usual stuff in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname> but nothing else. They
are exclusively designed as tasksel input.
IMHO it would do a nice service to our users to promote these topics on
our installers at the time when tasks will be selected.
Kind regards
Andreas.
