Bug#783664: tasksel: Add "recommends" hdparm to task-laptop
Package: tasksel
Version: 3.31
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
the removal of pm-utils from task-laptop in tasksel 3.30 has the side effect of
removing hdparm from live images. See report and discussion:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2015/04/msg00066.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2015/04/msg00067.html

- This is a regression as hdparm was included in live images up to and
including 7.8.0.
- hdparm is in my view an essential utility for live images as it enables
identification of ATA devices and pre-installation ATA secure erase.
- Live images have a "'we defer the package selection to tasksel
entirely'-policy".
Please add hdparm as "recommends" of task-laptop so that hdparm is included in
live images.
Kind regards,
Ben.
