I spent some time tracking down the cause for this.
In tasksel 3.34ubuntu3 in Yakkety, the print-server definition in
/usr/share/tasksel/descs/debian-tasks.desc is masking the definition in
/usr/share/tasksel/descs/ubuntu-tasks.desc. "tasksel --task-packages
print-server" sees the task as resolved by the package "task-print-
server" rather than with (cups, cups-bsd, cups-client).
In Debian, task-print-server exists. In Ubuntu, it doesn't, so tasksel
considers the task unavailable and removes it.
This appears to have regressed in tasksel-data (src:tasksel)
3.34ubuntu1. Prior to that, in tasksel-data 2.88ubuntu17, only
/usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc is shipped.
AFAICT this is a bug in tasksel. I wonder if we can resolve it by
removing /usr/share/tasksel/descs/debian-tasks.desc from tasksel-data.
Will that cause any other problems?
** Summary changed:
- print-server task dropped
+ Debian-defined tasks override Ubuntu-defined ones
** Changed in: tasksel (Ubuntu)
