Comments/Problems:
* Developer task missing in base-config / tasksel. (Also cannot find
it when booting expert.) Unless I missed something, this is a real
bummer. The subtasks for the developer task should be the usual
suspects:
* editors
* C / C++ / ... compilers and tools
* automake / autconf / ...
* tex / latex / ...
* documentation generators
* version / revision controllers
* Used desktop task instead, but program less (package less) is
missing from it.
* After initial reboot the progress bar sometimes hangs during
installation and configuration of base system.
* X-windows was configured incorrectly.
* What is the proper way to start KDE instead of GNOME?
* When I uninstall exim, at disappears as well.
* The man page for grub mentions info pages, but `info grub` cannot
find them. They seem to be in package grub-doc.
