Bug#240715: base-config: incosistent, secret, automatic package selection depending on tasksel/aptitude/nothing/etc.

[Christian Gatzemeier <c.gatzemeier@tu-bs.de>]

Package: base-config
Version: 2.15
Severity: normal


incosistent, secret, automatic package selection depending on 
tasksel/aptitude/nothing.

Entering tasksel and not selecting anything will install MANY packages.
Selecting not to install any thing at the menu will still install SOME
packages. etc.

So basicly the result of the install is dependent on the path taken,
even though one hasn`t added anything.
