Bug#579522: tasksel - Removes packages without consent
found 579522 2.66
thanks
tasksel has always behaved like this, some times removing packages
without any warning. It is a install time tool, and do not do really
do this when called from debian-installer, unless one has prepared
ones own tasks in addition to the tasks provided by
tasksel/debian-installer.
While I agree that it is annoying to have packages removed like that,
I do not believe it is release critical. Perhaps the documentation
should be updated to make it clear that running tasksel after
debian-installer is done can remove packages without any warning?
Happy hacking,
