Package: tasksel Version: 3.14 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
PCMCIA is so uncommon nowadays that installing pcmciautils on every laptop by default is imho no longer warranted. I would thus like to see it removed from task-laptop, similar to apmd. PCMCIA has been a technology which was relevant in the 1990s and has been superseded by e.g. ExpressCard for over 10 years. I've CCed Colin, the pcmciautils maintainer, for his input.
