.|<b>Cleaning up woody's task packages</b> was the subject of a 
.|<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy-0012/msg00123.html";>long
.|discussion</a>. While potato only shipped with a few screenfuls of task 
.|packages, the number of task packages in woody has exploded, and many of 
.|them are of doubtful utility to a new user who is installing Debian and wants
.|to use it for a specific task. Task packages arn't scaling as well as we had 
.|hoped, and there is a fair bit of confusion among the developers about what
.|exactly task packages should be used for. One solution involves putting 
.|a definition of what constitutes a valid task package into policy. Or we might
.|have to do away with the task system altogether and come up with some
.|<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0012/msg00927.html";>alternate
.|method</a> that is more flexible and less prone to abuse.
