Same for the MacOS Vise Installer (which I like better than InstallShield,
BTW). IMO, this was the general idea behind package sections, but that is
long over-lived for our purposes.
I just don't want tasksel to fall to the same fate. We need an all
emcompasing selection GUI that is irregardless of the archive format
(which currently, task-* packages does) and can be used by newbies and
hardcore's alike.
