The only issue I have with tasksel, is that sometimes I wish a more
minimal environment.
Then don't use tasksel to install package(s).
Yes, this is what I am doing, but then I need to manually track all
packages installed by tasksel, and list all those I'm interested in.
And often I do not know which one I'm interested one, but I know those I
do not want.
And this also holds for metapackages like lxqt.
It still installs a lot of things, so down to lxqt-core.
It still installs some things I've noticed and to not want, so I need to
inspect which packages are installed, transitive dependencies included..
I hoped it would have been possible to exlucde dependencies, for examle
by prefixing them with "-"; for example:
apt install lxqt -meteo-qt
