I will see what I can do about getting this fixed, starting with this bug against ftp.debian.org. (The context of this bug is that in <2K9V6.A.bDE.m-SjAB@murphy> on debian-user, it was observed that installs of woody with tasksel picking the desktop task does not install an X server. This is apparently because X has been updated in security.debian.org, and the Packages file lacks Task fields.) -- see shy jo
