$ apt-cache policy tasksel (and tasksel-data)
  Installed: 3.34ubuntu9

Selecting the "Vanilla GNOME desktop" task during installation using Artful's mini.iso results in only about 80 additional packages being installed, compared to "Ubuntu desktop"'s 1000+. This results in little, if anything, more than a basic minimal install.

Running "tasksel --task-package ubuntu-desktop" returns "ubuntu-desktop^", while running "tasksel --task-packages vanilla-gnome-desktop" returns nothing at all.
