This is a repeat of bug 53849, basically. The patch is the same, with the
dates and line numbers changed:

These packages provide a reasonably small but not too
limited character-mode system. This is what will be
installed by default if the user doesn't select anything

The justification is slightly different: as of 2.2r3 (or so), and certainly
with woody, tasksel automatically selects all of standard. This means there's
no convenient way of avoiding getting emacs or TeX installed if they're in
standard.
In addition, removing the exceptions for TeX and emacs makes the
definition seem a little more sane. Further, emacs and TeX depend on
xlibs which isn't in standard any more, which violates the "Packages
must not depend on packaes with lower priority values" rules.
A TeX task will be provided (and has been since potato) to make those
people happier. I'm not sure if an emacs task should be too.
I think the above rebuts most of the arguments I and others made against
this proposal when it was 53849.
Comments? Seconds?
Cheers,
aj
