% tasksel --help
tasksel: invalid option -- -
tasksel [options]; where options is any combination of:
        -t -- test mode; don't actually run apt-get on exit
        -q -- queue installs; do not install packages with apt-get;
                just queue them in dpkg
        -r -- install all required-priority packages
        -i -- install all important-priority packages
        -s -- install all standard-priority packages
        -n -- don't show UI; use with -r or -i usually

IIRC one of those -(r|i|s) is a default...
