I meant that the task system could be smart enough when installing
gnome-desktop and desktop task (for example) to install just epiphany,
maybe using a 'conflicts' against stuff in the desktop task (firefox).

That way, we could avoid a lot of dupes and keep using just 'firefox'
for pure desktop, only 'epiphany' for GNOME desktop, only 'konqueror'
for kde and 'firefox' in xfce?!

The feature and how handle it everywhere isn't in my wishlist for Etch, though.
