Hmm. I find it hard to imagine that Ben intends to eventually drop the nethack package from debian entirely. That would make apt-get install nethack not work, probably not a good idea. The only nethack I really want in the task is the character-based one. At the moment nethack does the right thing there, more or less. I will change it to nethack-x11 if Ben asks me to.
The nethack package is definitely not going away -- it's not a "transition" package to nethack-x11. If we want to make absolutely sure that gnome/qt don't get installed (i.e. the order of the nethack package alternatives doesn't change) we can make the task depend on nethack-x11, which would be fine. Otherwise, leaving it as just nethack is fine too.
