[Bug 1964152] Re: removal request for tasksel

[Brian Murray]

Looking at the debian-science source package it produces a science-tasks
package for tasksel and a series of science-* metapackages. Removing
tasksel from Ubuntu would require us to patch debian-science (at least I
didn't look at all the rdeps of tasksel) and remove the science-tasks
binary package which seems like a lot of work.

Title:
  removal request for tasksel

Status in tasksel package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in tasksel source package in Jammy:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The package tasksel has a few serious bug reports, bug 1779645 and bug
  574287, which cause a very bad experience for our users. Additionally,
  the Foundations team believes that we should not include this package
  with Ubuntu at all and that it should be added to the sync blacklist.

   $ reverse-depends -r jammy tasksel -a source                                                     
  No reverse dependencies found
