If Regid wants to keep the rest of task-desktop except for these particular drivers, and get appropriate upgrades if a new version of Debian is released, then I would say that using equivs is indeed the simplest solution. Regid, could you comment on the goal you want to achieve with this? [ Remark in case you didn’t notice: Purging xserver-xorg-video-all does not per se require removing all these packages. It’s just that it requires removing the task-desktop meta package, which in turn pulled in all the other packages (and marked them as automatically installed). APT then noticed that nothing required these automatic- ally installed packages any longer and offered to remove them to save space. ] Best, Claudius -- Please don’t CC me.
