19. By Colin Watson

Set Maintainer to <email address hidden>.

18. By Colin Watson

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Add Ubuntu tasks and 'debian/rules update' target.
  - Install {ubuntu,kubuntu,edubuntu,xubuntu}-desktop.preinst as symlinks
    to desktop.preinst, which we keep for now although it was removed from
    Debian.
  - Add --debconf-apt-from and --debconf-apt-to options to tasksel, to
    allow better progress output for task scripts. Adjust desktop.preinst
    to make use of this.
  - Use apt-get rather than aptitude to install tasks.

  - Use apt-get rather than aptitude to install tasks.
* Keep info/desktop.preinst for now, until our xserver-xorg is updated to
  do its work in the postinst.
* Point Ubuntu task update script at feisty.

16. By Colin Watson

Update Ubuntu tasks from seeds, collapsing *-standard into a single
standard task (closes: Malone #66214).

15. By Colin Watson

Use apt-get rather than aptitude to install tasks (closes: Malone
#61684). (This means that "Packages: standard" will no longer work, but
we don't use that in Ubuntu anyway.)

14. By Colin Watson

Update Ubuntu tasks from seeds, refreshing *-live descriptions.

13. By Colin Watson

* Add --debconf-apt-from and --debconf-apt-to options to tasksel. If
  provided, tasksel will use them to allocate regions of the
  debconf-apt-progress progress bar to task scripts.
* Adjust desktop.preinst to allow use of debconf-apt-progress, and make
  its already-installed check a bit more robust. This isn't perfect
  because it uses the same progress bar endpoints for each package, so the
  progress bar will jump back and forth a little; but this is better than
  nothing.
* Install xserver-xorg in desktop.preinst.
* Update Ubuntu tasks from seeds, adding minimal and
  {ubuntu,kubuntu,edubuntu,xubuntu}-live.

12. By Colin Watson

* Ubuntu branding (Debian bug filed).
* Update Ubuntu tasks from seeds, adding edubuntu-server.

11. By Colin Watson

* Don't install mdetect or read-edid in desktop.preinst.
* Install {ubuntu,kubuntu,edubuntu,xubuntu}-desktop.preinst as symlinks to
  desktop.preinst.

10. By Colin Watson

* Generate ubuntu-tasks.desc from special headers in the Ubuntu seeds.
  Don't install debian-tasks.desc.
* Add debian/rules update target to update the above.
