Package: debian-installer
Version: 20150422+deb8u3
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
I used the current netboot.tar.gz for debian jessie from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/
to create a pxe based preseeded installation.
Everything works fine except the tasksel configuration.
I don't want to execute any of the tasksel tasks.
Whatever I do, the installer starts to install about 1500 packages including
Xorg.
I tried
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect
then I added
tasksel tasksel/skip-tasks string standard
which I had in a working minimal configuration for wheezy.
Nothing helped.
I ran a normal manual install and dumped the configuration with
debconf-get-selections --installer
The output contained the line
d-i tasksel/first multiselect
which is different from what is documented for the installer - but I tried
that, too.
Then I added all the tasks from "tasksel --list" to the skip-tasks line
mentioned above....
Still a full desktop installation.
Is there any way to install a really minimal configuration via preseeding in
jessie?

Thanks a million! That was the problem.
Sometimes things need a second eye when staring at it no longer helps... :-(
Sorry for polluting the bug tracker...
