Package: tasksel
Version: 2.59
Severity: minor
When you select the laptop task by itself, it also installs most of X.Org
due to dependencies, but not enough to result in any kind of working X
environment.
This also makes the download and installed size a lot larger than strictly
required.
Installed/Download Comments
49.3 16.9 Current laptop task
26.3 9.5 Without xserver-xorx-input-synaptics, which gets rid
of most of all X.Org packages
10.1 3.1 Without acpi-support, which gets rid of dbus and thus
xbase-clients
4.1 1.5 Without bluetooth, which gets rid of x11-common
The last set I would qualify as the pure laptop utilities.
It would be great if the laptop task could be split into a basic laptop
task and a "laptop-desktop" task that "enhances" both desktop and laptop,
but I'm not sure if tasksel supports a double "enhances" currently.
Cheers,
FJP
