tasksel can't (and shouldn't) deal with the dependencies of packages
it installs. It would be overcomplicated to follow this over time.

I guess the original bug is in buetooth package dependencies which
could maybe be downgraded to "Suggests" as they end up installing a
print server on a machine when one wants to install Bluetooth support.
