I think it makes as much sense as the existing task packages. For example, we
have task packages for roxen (task-webserver-roxen), roxen2
(task-webserver-roxen2), and PostgreSQL (task-database-pg). These refer to
specific implementations of a task, not just an abstract task. Perhaps
task-devel-emacs would be the logical analogue.
In many Linux distributions, Emacs is a high-level installation task, like
"Games" or "Mail". This makes sense to the average user, who usually either
wants Emacs or does not.
