This is the same as de-selecting a selected package in some other package manager, except unlike packages, tasks can be partially installed. > set of packages being installed.

There is no way to start aptitude interactively and at the same time tell it to remove some tasks, so tasksel has to run aptitude twice when you tell it to do both things. The best way to remove this point of confusion from tasksel would probably be to remove the interactive option entirely, which is probably a good idea anyway, since it cannot be used from within the installer. -- see shy jo
