If you just want to prevent the creation of a metapackage to not cause
trouble for the release team there is a more simple option rather than
deleting the whole task. You can simply set
Metapackage: false
in the header of the task file and it does "what it says". So you can
easily continue to design your task and set it to "yes" (or delete the
line - yes is default) once you are happy with a new metapackage.
Kind regards
Andreas.
