Bug#604073: Please remove vbetool and radeontool from laptop task

[Michael Biebl <biebl@debian.org>]

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.84
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of pm-utils.

With KMS being available for all major drivers, radeontool and vbetool
have become mostly obsolete. Besides, that pm-utils uses those tools is an
implementation detail and it should be up to the pm-utils package to
depend on those packages (it currently still recommends vbetool, and d-i
installs recommends by default)

Please consider removing vbetool and radeontool from the laptop task.

Michael
