I have to be very cautions about adding packages to tasks at this point in the release cycle. It's easy for this kind of change to overflow the full cd #1, and we are already in the middle of a number of other changes (new gnome, new kde, new kernel packages and abi) that threaten to change the contents of the cd and maybe overflow it. So I can look at making this change, but I would rather let the other changes settle down first. Can you ping me later? > Joey, do you have an advice about an Arabic task for tasksel?

I would have to work with James to make it look at a sarge branch and create separate override for sarge, if this is possible at all. -- see shy jo
