  * Really depending on gdm3 in task-lxde-desktop (Closes: #680519).

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * xfce: Use network-manager-gnome.
    Rationalle: Everyone I've polled who has installed xfce for nontechnical
    users has had to switch out wicd due to its non-user-friendliness,
    which includes not managing wireless interfaces at all by default,
    and presenting the user with a secreen full of dozens of configuration
    settings when a network requires a password.
    Technical users who want wicd will have no difficulty installing it.

tasksel (3.00) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Task packages are back! For now, the task-* metapackages are only
    used to hold Depends, Recommends, and Description; all other task
    info that tasksel uses remains in debian-tasks.desc. Plan is to
    migrate the rest into the task packages later, where possible.
  * FTP-master: I've put the task packages in a new section, "tasks",
    which I hope you'll approve & create.
  * Translators: DDTP translations of task packages are now displayed
    by tasksel, so it's important that the (visible) tasks' descriptions
    be translated there.
  * Don't generate Task field overrides for tasks that have only Key
    packages. In other words, the Task field overrides are not needed,
    and are going away. The overrides file uploaded with this version
    of tasksel is empty.
  * Tasksel no longer looks for desc files in /usr/share/taksel/,
    instead it looks in /usr/share/taksel/descs/. This was necessary
    because aptitude crashes on the new debian-tasks.desc file without
    Description fields.
  * Remove rarian-compat from task-gnome-desktop. Dependencies on
    scrollkeeper should default to rarian-compat by now.
  * Moved iceweasel to Recommends of task-desktop; was in Key/Depends.
  * Moved acpid to Recommends of task-laptop from Depends, anticipating
    kFreeBSD laptops.
  * Removed unnecessary Recommends of xfonts-base, which is included
    in X anyway, and lintian complains about.
  * Updated to debhelper v8.

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Replace aspell-fi by libenchant-voikko in finnish task
    Closes: #585840

  [ Translations of tasks ]
  * Nepali (shyam krishna bal). Closes: #615007

 -- Joey Hess <email address hidden> Sun, 27 Feb 2011 00:04:29 -0400

tasksel (2.89) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * kde-desktop: Add kdeaccessibility. Closes: #610790

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * gnome-desktop: drop xsane since gnome meta-package depends on
    simple-scan. Closes: #611951.
  * hungarian-desktop: use hunspell-hu instead of myspell-hu to fix
    spell checking on Iceweasel and OpenOffice. Thanks to Szabolcs
    Siebenhofer <email address hidden> for the patch. Closes: #611937.

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Replace myspell-hu by hunspell-hu in hungarian task
    Closes: #611937

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I haven't been bothering with this because (a) preserving Ubuntu revision history across Debian's change of VCS would require considerable gymnastics and (b) the vast majority of the changes here have no particular interest for Ubuntu.
