This is how UserLinux does it currently. IMHO tasks are better, since if a user chooses to remove a part of the metapackage the metapackage itself has to be removed. And aptitude removes unused automatically installed packages... Also, another problem with Debian is that stable releases get outdated pretty quick. But The Debian Desktop Distribution solves this for us. */ Christoffer Sawicki <qerub@home.se>
