Bug#698105: Please remove pcmciautils from laptop task
Package: tasksel
Version: 3.14
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
PCMCIA is so uncommon nowadays that installing pcmciautils on every laptop
by default is imho no longer warranted. I would thus like to see it removed
from task-laptop, similar to apmd.
PCMCIA has been a technology which was relevant in the 1990s and has
been superseded by e.g. ExpressCard for over 10 years.
I've CCed Colin, the pcmciautils maintainer, for his input.
Cheers,
Michael
