Re: Bug#1055016: override: tasksel-data:admin/optional

FTP Team,

On Sun Oct 29, 2023, I reported:

Some more dependencies:
    Package: tasksel-data
    Depends: tasksel (= 3.73)
    Recommends: laptop-detect
    Priority: important

    Package: laptop-detect
    Recommends: dmidecode
    Priority: optional

    Package: dmidecode
    Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34)
    Priority: important

So a side effect of not installing tasksel and tasksel-data by default
is that laptop-detect would not be installed either.

It's not clear to me why dmidecode is Priority: important,
but that's a discussion for another day.

Thank you!
