Hi,

I'm working on some custom installer CDs. Now one of the goals is to install
some tasks using tasksel. So I added e.g.

tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ssh-server, swedish

to overwrite default.preseed. I also added

task-ssh-server
task-swedish

to my profile.downloads file. But the resulting image does not contain all the
necessary dependencies. It includes just the plain task* packages. So the
installer requires an internet connection to fetch the dependencies (in my case
I turned off all attempts to access the network).

I wonder if all packages listed in *.downloads should be included with their
dependencies by default? IMHO it makes more sense than to just include the
plain packages because they might end up uninstallable.

PS: BTW it took my *days* to figure out why `d-i tasksel/first multiselect ...`
didn't have any effect - because default.preseed sets `*tasksel* tasksel/first
...` and that takes precendence it seems. I do wonder if default.preseed should
use the d-i prefix here.


Regards, Daniel
