Update on the status of this bug. Tasksel can remove tasks nicely now, so that's not a problem. All it needs is a way to tell if a task is installed, which with modern tasks probably means just checking to see if the task's key packages are installed. However, one problem to watch out for is deciding that a task is installed because its key packages are there, thus marking it for install, and re-installing it, pulling in many non-key packages that are not wanted. Probably needs an already-installed state in tasksel, or the like. -- see shy jo
