The changelog for tasksel 1.3-2 said:
- Killed debian-dev(el) task, since it does not meet our task criteria
-- nowhere near 10% of debian users are debian developers (we hope!),
and probably not enough regular users will use this package to make
up the difference. This is my own package, so I'm willing to be
persuaded otherwise, though..
I wouldn't mind seeing a meta-package return to the archive, though.
