mmm, i got responded that there are no more task packages as of (or meta
packages) as of woody, (there were such things in potato, but they are phased
out, there is no more task-xxx.deb packages, there were in potato) We should
use the tasksel package for now, and most probably, the new Task: stuff will
be used for the next version. Not sure though.
I downloaded the tasksel package, but don't really have time to look at it
:(((

Yes, go ahead, we can always modify them later, even during freeze time, we
can just not create a new task stuff.

That is not important, the important part is to get them done, after we can
argue with people over the tesing stuff, or have it included.
We need to make them now and test them.
The date limit is friday, i think (that is tommorow).
