They'll choose to select tasks, and "tasksel -ris" will presumably be run
for them, which'll install all required, important and standard packages.
This wasn't the case in potato originally, but I think that's been/going to
be changed.

tetex and emacs are the packages that people usually want out of standard;
tetex already has its own task (task-tex), what would people think of
making a task-emacs and moving both tetex and emacs out from standard?
Cheers,
aj (alternately, we could expand tasksel so that it'd take note of a
religion-emacs metapackage...)
