My point of view of the task problem: - We *have not to* make the task, in the tasksel meaning, related to OCaml. Tasksel is thinked about first installation and we really don't need ocaml task for users at first installation, anyway no matter how the 10% statistic is performed: we can't reach it. - We *have to* make the meta packages, _that are still used_ (e.g. kde), because this are more usefull. I really don't need a task package because I, like almost all debian user, don't use tasksel: I use dselect. Thus I really need a meta package if I want to install all ocaml related packages, so that I can select it and automagically all depends package are showed up. - I can do the two meta packages and I think, that the right choice is the last one I showed, i.e. task-ocaml (Depends: ocaml, ocaml-doc, ocaml-tools, ledit, camlp4, camlp4-doc, ocaml-findlib, camlidl, camlidl-doc, ocamlweb, tuareg-mode) task-ocaml-libraries (Depends: camlzip, ocaml-netclient, ocaml-netstring, ocaml-pxp, ocaml-shell, ocaml-xstr, ocamltk, lablgl, lablgtk, lablgtkmathview, mlminidom, libxlib-ocaml) Anyway I'm open to other opinion but: if we make two meta package we can remove one of the twos and change dependencies of the other, if we make only one meta package we can't add later the other one. Is this a valid reason on which we (all) can agree?
