Good point.

Also, as Michael Terry pointed out, some tools like Duplicity have Suggests
that while not strictly in the "must port" path (i.e. because they do not have
"Task: ubuntu-desktop"), they provide optional but useful (and currently
existing) functionality.

I've added a tab to the spreadsheet labeled "Good To Have" and I think we
should at least track those optional packages there, and try to find resources
to get them ported.

I've also added a section on the detailed spec (wiki page) for side effects
such as these.
