This isn't how image builds install tasks, for better or worse.

In lucid and earlier, the Task header is used but it's matched by hand
rather than using the ^ syntax -- I'm not sure why though, it may be
something to do with not wanting to install the packages that have the task
header but are from a foreign architecture.

In mantic though, livecd-rootfs uses the package lists produced by
germinate directly.

Given these package lists are what drive the Task header in the archive, I
expect it doesn't make any difference though.
