Brian, I may be way off track here since its been a long time since I looked at tasksel, however doesnt it essentially run:

apt-get install <flavour>^
Which then installs packages based on Task: fields in Packages.gz?
(looking at the source, that seems to apply for the ubuntu-seeds?)

Now there is an ubuntu-gnome-desktop Task in artful, but I dont think that was intended, it was meant to be renamed to vanilla-gnome-desktop along with the rename of the meta package.

The only thing that was not renamed, was the bzr repos, so the patch looks ok to me in that respect.

Is there some way to make tasksel use the meta package instead of the Task embedded in the archive?
