I was under the impression tasksel was largely being deprecated in
favor of meta-packages. What Debian are you on?
I'm not sure we can easily shoe-horn tasks into the existing apt
provider, unless we looked at tasks if a given package isn't found
(are there any namespace collisions between tasks and packages?), but
I reckon it's feasible to write a package provider that only used
tasks.
Would you find it acceptable to have to specify a tasksel provider
when doing what you're trying to do?
e.g.
package { "gnome-desktop":
provider => tasksel,
ensure => installed,
}
