Installs from tasksel already select important packages. This includes cron
and exim. Perhaps file should be important. Remember, the definition of
important is "Important programs, including those which one would expect to
find on any Unix-like system. If the expectation is that an experienced Unix
person who found it missing would say `What the F*!@<+ is going on, where is
`foo'', it must be in `important'."
