  * xserver-xorg has been changed in version 7.1.0-5 to do all hardware
    detection in its postinst, and so the desktop.preinst script to 
    pre-install those tools is no longer necessary. Thanks to the X Strike
    Force for finally ending this special case. 
  * Hangs during standalone tasksel runs due to apt prompting for a CD
    switch when installing packages in desktop.preinst are therefore no longer
    a problem. Closes: #386244

/usr/lib/tasksel/ is still supported by tasksel's code, and can still be
used by derived distrubutions (eg, it's still used by Ubuntu, although they
add some quite complex stuff to work around #386244). But there's no point
in including the empty directory in the Debian package.
