If people who have opinions on what packages to use to complete a particular task shouldn't use tasksel, does this mean that people who think that GNOME should be used as a desktop shouldn't use tasksel, but rather install GNOME and the rest "manually"? It would be more geeky, wouldn't it?If you have opinions on what packages to use to complete a particular task, why are you using tasksel?
Anyway, I would also appreciate a lot to see an improved handling of the desktop environment by tasksel, but I'm not sure if adding "(GNOME)" is a good idea. Considering GNOME's popularity versus "other desktops", I think it's worth considering.
