Hi, I see two approaches here. Run aptitude in simulation mode, parse the output, and ask for user confirmation if any removals are required.
Alternatively, tweak aptitude to not install any packages that require removals. I don't know or use aptitude but from the little I've looked into the manual, it looks that the default setting for Aptitude::ProblemResolver::{Safe-Level,Resolver::Remove-Level} is already set to the safest value (10000). Perhaps I've missed a way to just say "don't install packages that require removals" (but wouldn't that defeat the whole point of tasksel?)
