No, do not do that!
Task packages are presented to the user on an initial install. As the
name might indicate if you look at it for a minute, a task package is
indended to deliniate a specific *task* you might use a computer for,
like a web server, an X workstation, or perhaps an X workstation using
GNOME.
Task packages are *not* meant to be used to collect together packages
that have been over-split into subpackages. Doing so will only cause the
new installer to wonder,
So why would I want to use my computer as a 'Gnome Applets'
rather than a Web Server or a X Workstation?
task-gnome-desktop can depend on these applets. You can even make a
metapackage that depends on all of the little packages, if, against our
advice, you decide to split them up that way.
But if you name it prefixed with task-, I will be forced to do
everything in my power to prevent it from being included in Debian.
