That's another option to define some extra metadata for the web page.

Well, we could set
Teaser: 0
by default for any package and do instead of the "yes" value
Depends: keypackage1
Teaser: 1
Depends: keypackage2
Teaser: 2

We could cut at a defined maxteaser value. The only problem I see in
this approach that the manual maintenance becomes a burden if you need
to ensure manually that no duplicated Teaser values occure.

Does tasksel allow for a certain sequence? I'm not aware of this but
that could be me. For the moment this convention could be simply
implemented in the tasks files and from there propagated to UDD. Its a
matter of implementation if and how it is used.
A totally different option which could live without the Teaser value
would be to define the key packages according to their popcon value.
This could serve as kind of an objective measure to rank packages in a
task and it is implemented right now.
Kind regards
Andreas.
