This will have broken the installer, as the new debian-edu-install
package do not preseed tasksel, and the old debian-edu package in
unstable and lenny expect it to do so.  I expect none of "our"
packages will be installed using the packages in unstable now.

Also, the installation is not working as it should with the svn
version of debian-edu and debian-edu-install, ref my email earlier
about tasksel.

I believe it is working now.  You install it by specifying
'desktop=gnome' as a boot parameter to the installer.

The set of packages being installed need to be adjusted, though.

I did not test this, and have no idea if it is OK.

Happy hacking,
