So, I think that support in tools besides tasksel is critical to this policy proposal being useful. I don't like the idea of having frontend-specific fields being mandated by policy and don'tt see a need for tasksel to be a distinguished frontend. I understand why apt-get might not want to support or reverse-recommends, but I think that the actual frontends should support this.
