Now that etch is out I can think about removing the --without-recommands from tasksel. Using Per's recipe for finding what additional packages will be installed, here's the current status in unstable. standard: debconf-utils lib64mudflap0 libmudflap0 libmudflap0-dev debconf-utils is pulled in via ucf. (#424926) The mudflap stuff would have to go, but is actually pulled in via gcc stuff, which is pulled in because gcc-multilib is standard.
