Don't confuse new-style tasks with old-style ... let's call the latter "meta-packages". New-style tasks are in all selectable in tasksel. Meta-packages are simply installable like normally package, but they do not contain anything useful themselves. I also think that "everything ocaml" should be a meta-package rather than a task. There should be only a small number of tasks, and ocaml is a minority program. So if we s/task /meta-/ in the subject, the answer is simply: like any other package, but don't put any files in it. Whether meta-packages need /usr/share/doc/.../copyright I don't know, though. Look what other packages (kde and harden-* were mentioned) did. -- Robbe
