Bug Description

Ubuntu Release 14.04.1 LTS
tasksel version 2.88ubuntu15

I am using tasksel with a custom task which runs a script to generate the list of packages to install.

However, if this generated list includes a package name with an architecture, e.g. libgtk2.0-0:i386 tasksel silently ignores that package.

To reproduce this, put this in a file /usr/share/tasksel/thing.desc:

Task: thing
Section: server
Description: test
 Test task
Key:
Packages: list
 libgtk2.0-0:i386
 evince

: and run ; tasksel --task-packages thing

Only evince is listed.
