Most systems really only want ssh, not any of the rest. The real problem
with ssh server is that almost everybody wants it, but we only want it
installed deliberately because of the open port. Probably a separate task
for it is the only realistic solution.
Also, I doubt that anybody using D-I would have a clear idea of what
a "Login server" task would actually contain, making it bad from a
usability PoV.
