Since there would be only a handful of people who would actually want to
install this[1], it seems a bit unnecessary. The FHS people should maintain the
list of packages they need for testing Debian systems, anyway.
[1] Task packages are shortcuts for `I want to install a web server!' people
-- I don't imagine any end-user would really say `I want to install whatever
necessary so that I can test if my system is compliant with a standard'.
It would be useful for suit(tm)-types, though :)
