Re: Bug#758116: Allow to select Blends selection during installation - just "DE", "Web server", "Mail server" is NOT enough



Hi,

And thanks for your work on this.

I'm not sure how reasonable it is to have such a long list of meta
packages in the installer. See attached tasksel-gtk-greyscale.png for
the initial display with the graphical installer, and attached
tasksel-text-greyscale.png for the text mode installer.

Also, not sure about the (lack of) ordering in Debian Pure Blends.
The Debian desktop environment submenu might be considered a bit special
(esp. after the default desktop changes…), but I don't see why the DPB
one should be unsorted. (See attached tasksel-unsorted-greyscale.png)
