I think you passed over the other half (edubuntu) of my request at
today's DMB meeting.

The DMB's position is that you prefer to have vanilla-ubuntu-gnome in a
unique situation as a seed/task/packageset without a corresponding
flavour? That's fine if you want it to be that way, but I think it would
be good if you were to specify somewhere what is appropriate to seed
there. desktop-extra is before we started doing this, but for
packagesets the idea is that the team's description contains this
specification. I'm not sure what place would be appropriate for
flavours; maybe you can create a team.

(Also, it looks like "packageset" doesn't support this situation at the
minute.)

Cheers,
