Or something similar, yes. Note that task- packages shouldn't have been
using Conflicts: anyway.

I still think using Conflicts: for this rather than a more flexible,
post-install method is a bad idea. Running "harden-system" and
getting prompted to remove/replace various packages, possibly even with
descriptions of why they're bad and/or what risks you're running, seems
a lot more useful to me. But if you're going to use Conflicts: you'll have
to draw a line somewhere.
