The problem is, that the boot-floppies will directly use apt-get, and
apt-get only reads the Depends: line. Of cause, it is another thing if
the user uses dselect later. Unfortunately, there is no better
solution, therefore the Depends:. One has to deinstall the task
package to remove any of the packages.

I see, thanks.

If Tony doen't have time, I also can do the uploads. The main concern
is, that someone who uses python does the semantics for the package,
like removing a obscure lib I added, adding a README file mentioning
the debian-python list and such.
David> If someone else wants it, fine with me.
Whoever takes this, just upload to incoming as a usual package. You
may want to use equivs (equivs-build <controlfile>) to transform the
controlfile into a package to start with.
I also ask the person who finally takes this to contact me, so I can
keep track of it.
Ciao,
