Bug Description

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

1. Since some packages, for example, libpq5, mysql-common are in both lamp-server and mail-server task

2. invoking "tasksel remove mail-server" will remove libpq5, mysql-common
* removing libpq5 causing apache2 to be removed
* removing mysql-common causing mysql-server-5.0 to be removed

3. This is unexpected behavior. apache2 and mysql-server are in lamp-server task, and shouldn't be removed.

4. In general, the library and some common package should not be assigned to any *-server task. Removing those packages from the task will simply solve this problem.
