--- Begin Message ---Package: task-desktop Version: 3.45 Severity: wishlist Now task-desktop depends on xserver-xorg-video-all, which forces to have all the video drivers in the system, even if they appear unused. I suggest to move xserver-xorg-video-all into Recommends and depend on xorg-driver-video (to force the system to have at least one video driver installed). --- System information. --- Architecture: Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 Debian Release: buster/sid 990 testing ftp.by.debian.org 500 unstable ftp.by.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =====================================-+-=========== tasksel (= 3.45) | 3.45 xorg | 1:7.7+19 xserver-xorg-video-all | 1:7.7+19 xserver-xorg-input-all | 1:7.7+19 desktop-base | 9.0.7 Recommends (Version) | Installed ====================================-+-=========== task-gnome-desktop | OR task-xfce-desktop | OR task-kde-desktop | 3.45 OR task-lxde-desktop | OR task-cinnamon-desktop | OR task-mate-desktop | OR task-lxqt-desktop | xdg-utils | 1.1.3-1 avahi-daemon | 0.7-4 libnss-mdns | 0.14.1-1 anacron | 2.3-24 eject | 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-13.2 iw | 4.14-0.1 alsa-utils | 1.1.6-1 libu2f-udev | sudo | 1.8.23-2 firefox | 62.0-1 OR firefox-esr | Package's Suggests field is empty. -- Alexander Kernozhitsky

--- Begin Message ---I believe this bug was a request to remove xserver-xorg-video-all from Depends to allow it to be more easily removed from a system. That was done with tasksel 3.86: * task-desktop: stop depending on xorg packages directly, to get prepared for wayland. See MR!46 for more details. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
