Firstly, the task is nowadays called "standard" rather than
"ubuntu-standard" (task names do not necessarily match metapackage names
for various reasons). Secondly, you don't need to tell tasksel to
install the standard task, since it does so by default in addition to
any other tasks you specify.

I suspect that Udit's problem may be that he's misbuilt the CD image
such that the packages in the standard task aren't tagged with "Task:
standard" in the Packages file.
