Exactly. I use an apt-setup generator to add a repository that includes my custom task package, so this must happen afterwards. In sarge I stored the deb including the task definition in the initrd and installed it w/ a late-command. This obviously doesn't work now that tasksel runs before the late-command. This revised method also avoids the sync problem with the task definition in the initrd and the one on the mirror. > The patch is fine for small hooks, but doesn't advance the progress bar > between hooks as base-installer does, so would be problimatic if any > hooks took long. I haven't messed w/ progress bar stuff much, but I'll look into adding this support.
