Bug#934040: tasksel: doesn't provide transitional package for task-print-server

[Raphaël Halimi]

Package: tasksel
Version: 3.54

Hi,

Following #696658, task-print-server was renamed to task-print-service.

Running "apt-get dist-upgrade" on current Sid tries to remove
task-print-server, without installing task-print-service to replace it.

This could be a problem for inexperienced users in the future when
Bullseye will be released and they upgrade from Buster.

I guess the best solution is to provide an updated version of tasksel
which provides a transitional dummy package named task-print-server
depending on task-print-service.
