Bug#382216: should install dmidecode before configuring X
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.53
Severity: normal
I've talked to the X maintainers, and been told that the patch for
#381952 (laptop multimedia key detection) will go into experimental
quite soon, and possibly from there to unstable if the results are good.
However, the patch requires dmidecode available at .config time to work,
just like it requires discover1 and xresprobe already -- IOW, please
install dmidecode before the X task.
