Apologies for the *incredibly late* reply, and thanks for your interest in
contributing to tasksel :)

That sounds like all sorts of really good reasons to include it.
However, if we start ordering the list by popularity or perceived relevance,
I forsee lots to bruised feelings when bumping flashback to the top  ;)

I took the liberty of rebasing your patch (so it applies to the current source

I'd however appreciate some feedback from the rest of the d-i team,
before merging this.


Best,
