Bug#244099: your installation report

For various reasons, we've decided not to do that. You can configure this if
you boot in expert mode, and various other ways.

The way to do this is to use aptitude instead of tasksel. Aptitude
supports tasks, and has the feature you want.

The installer should detect most hardware, and it installs discover,
which will detect most sound hardware and so on after reboot. There is a
modconf package you can install and run on the installed system, and
probably other ways to configure hardware that this process misses.
