I'm trying to install bullseye fully automatically using netboot with pressed.cfg embedded in initramfs.
I wonder how to make taskel to install default set of packages. If I don't mention tasksel in preseed
at all, then tasksel asks what packages should be installed (i. e. installation becomes non-automatic).
If I write to pressed "tasksel tasksel/first seen true", then (it seems) tasksel stage is skipped
(instead of installing default set of packages). I was unable to find any answer in documentation
(i. e. appendix B of installation manual and https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/example-preseed.txt ).
So I decided to try this: "tasksel tasksel/first default". Susprisiongly, it worked!
So, please, document this "default" syntax. Appendix B and https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/example-preseed.txt say
nothing about it.

It is indeed documented!
Searching for the above mentioned "tasksel tasksel/first",
you can find
--------------------------------------
### Package selection
#tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, web-server, kde-desktop
--------------------------------------
So giving
"tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard"
installs the
"standard system tools" task, and is most likely what you want.
Closing this bug
