You've no for both questions with the exception that 'desktop' task
installs discover1 we've 2 already packaged.
Petter, couldn't we replace discover1 with discover (2) into the
desktop task ? Is this a list of supported hardware issue, something
else or there's no issue? Btw, it seems that xdebconfigurator already
support discover (2) or discover1 but xserver-xorg recommends is on
'discover1 | discover' and in ltsp-client-core we depend on discover1
(not desktop task related though)
