Bug#815344: preseeding: empty tasksel not possible

[Geert Stappers <stappers@stappers.nl>]

Control: severity normal
Stop

Rational/Reason:
 Severity:
  'normal' is default severity, it is to unset 'imporant', IMHO it should be 'wishlist'

 	d-i     tasksel/first   multiselect     standard

However I recomment
 	d-i     tasksel/first   multiselect     standard, ssh-server

P.S.
Most likely it is possible to do something clumsy as
 	d-i     tasksel/first   multiselect     ""
Where "" represents an empty string.
Clumsy in the meaning of clumsy, unhandy, gauche, awkward, gauche.
So as "NOT recommented".
