  59. Bugs (report to Debian and track here until fixed in stable):
  60. * Lots of core packages should be apt-mark'ed as auto-installed

  64. (or maybe just needs _all_ vars included, from uninterrupted wipe)
  65. * task-xfce-desktop should recommend xfce4-session (not xfce4)
  66. - or xfce4 should only recommend (not depend on) packages like orage
