Tasks may well be a good solution.

There are two discussions here:

0: What do we want by default in a chroot or other container?

1: What do we want by default in a "work/Unix/POSIX environment"?

The minimum should be enough to get a working chroot (and that is
likely to involve an editor of some kind but either no daemons or only
minimal daemons).

Those who want more can specify different options to debootstrap (for
example) to include tasks.

We have --variant=buildd already.

It could be similar in DI - standard system utilities could include
more packages than a simple debootstrap would provide, like cron and
others.

Maybe we need to split the discussion based on what should be in a
minimal debootstrap and what should be in standard system utilities in
DI?
