Since debian-boot@l.d.o was CCed, I thought that "task" was employed to mean "a
metapackage built from the tasksel source package", not just any metapackage in
general.

So let me rephrase:

Is the proposal to go through tasksel ?  If yes, what are the expected
advantages over the use of an ad-hoc metapackage ?
