Yes, I see your point. So what do you suggest me to do if I want to keep all the automatic language related tasks and get rid of Desktop, Mail server, etc? Should I copy all the language related file to my custom task list and divert debian-tasks.desc entirely? I don't like this solution that much, but it's almost only an esthetic complain. However if some language task changes in the original debian-tasks.desc from tasksel, then I have to re-import them in my diverted one.
