man has no page; info has no info; locate turns up empty...
i found a page at packages.ubuntulinux.org/breezy/base for tasksel.
It's description says that it's for users who want to pick general tasks
for installation on their Debian system.  It is used during the
installation process but can be used at any other point.

It depends on Aptitude, debconf, and liblocale-gettext-perl.
However, no online documentation as to its usage, syntax, etc.

Would I need to install this in order to see what it's supposed to be
capable of?
