The Progeny developer responsible for gtasksel is (and has been for
months) in the new maintainer queue. I believe there are a few
Progenyisms in gtasksel specifically because Progeny task packages use
Recommends rather than Depends so you can remove part of a task (which is
something that is missing from Debian's tasks because apt ignores both
suggests and recommends.)
Still, the code is AFAIK otherwise directly useful in Debian and I suspect
Eric may be willing to package it for Debian once his application is
actually processed. I for one would rather see gtasksel obsolete when
someone comes up with a replacement for the nasty kludge that are task
packages.
