As you pointed out by quoting the packages, these are already separate tasks in current jessie, which I think is right. What remains unchanged is "standard system tools", which I now understand is special. I assume making NFS and MTAs non-"standard" is getting political, so I don't want to open that can of worms ;-) >> "SSH Server" is the only task I consider actually useful. > > Don't you also find that "print-server" is also useful? I don't run any machine as a dedicated print server ;-) and my desktop machines got cups through some other dependency, it seems. I agree it can be useful. As mentioned elsewhere, this is "just" because cups and openssh are the only widely used options here.
