No, a task package is supposed to describe a task. Things like
task-imap-server and task-c-development are appropriate. Ever
since the task packages appeared people seem to think all
meta-packages must be task packages. Meta-packages existed before
task packages and they did exactly the same thing they do now.

For the two problematic meta-packages (gnome-network and
gnome-games), i'm thinking of calling them gnome-network-apps and
gnome-games-extra. Any better suggestions?
