--- Begin Message ---Package: tasksel Version: 2.59 Severity: minor When you select the laptop task by itself, it also installs most of X.Org due to dependencies, but not enough to result in any kind of working X environment. This also makes the download and installed size a lot larger than strictly required. Installed/Download Comments 49.3 16.9 Current laptop task 26.3 9.5 Without xserver-xorx-input-synaptics, which gets rid of most of all X.Org packages 10.1 3.1 Without acpi-support, which gets rid of dbus and thus xbase-clients 4.1 1.5 Without bluetooth, which gets rid of x11-common The last set I would qualify as the pure laptop utilities. It would be great if the laptop task could be split into a basic laptop task and a "laptop-desktop" task that "enhances" both desktop and laptop, but I'm not sure if tasksel supports a double "enhances" currently.

Need to get 3052kB/3101kB of archives. After unpacking 10.8MB will be used. From the bug log (which I entirely read), bluetooth was the "culprit" for bringing X in, through its dependency on x11-common. That dependency is no longer here and, as expected, it seems that the laptop task is no longer pulling X.org in. Please reopen is there's something b0rken in my reasoning. PS: hard to find the right version tagging as this fix was mostly the consequence or package reorganisations that happened outside tasksel. --
