I would appreciate if you could review the patch I provided for tasksel (at #301273). That will only apply to new installs that select a task, so none of those packages should be installed at that point. I don't think there is a need for a ':' suffix but I'll keep it in mind. The problem might appear, however, if a development task is added (which will include those packages) and that might come in handy. But the development task is not yet available and will probably not be added for sarge. Regards Javier
