Package: tasksel Version: 2.59 Severity: wishlist This is something I've been sitting on since the Dzongkha customization I did in Bhutan. There are currently two ways to define tasks: Packages: package-1 package-2 package-3 and: Packages: task-fields Packages-list: package-1 package-2 package-3 This seems inconsistent as also has as consequence that it is harder to grep-aptavail packages to, for example, create a list of packages for tasks in debian-cd. I propose to change the first form to: Packages: task-files Packages-list: package-1 package-2 package-3 Transition should be easy by checking for the old format at build time and failing with a message to convert to new format. Before implementation, there should probably be a check for applications that parse task files and make sure those support both the old and new format. Not sure how many of these there would be. Probably best to implement this early in a release cycle. Cheers, FJP
