But aren't task packages going away already in woody? There's a new
mechanism for tasks designed by Joey Hess and Anthony Towns, that is
orthogonal to/separate from packages. Look at the devel list for
these few past weeks.

I would just leave cdk alone for now. I haven't used it, but I _bet_
there are many rough edges where the various pieces are not perfectly
integrated yet, and it doesn't sense to fix it in Debian before it is
fixed upstream.
