Any package beginning with task- is a meta-package which can be safely
removed. The sole purpose of a meta-package is to bring in other
packages as dependencies. It has no content of its own.
There are some other meta-packages that don't begin with task-. They
usually self-identify in their descriptions, if you can't figure it
out just from the overly generic name and the small installed size.
