Problem:  I try to specify the 'tasksel' list in the preseed file, but instead, few/none tasks are
selected.



During setup, the parsed preseed file can be found at:

    /var/lib/preseed/log


This lists the tasks that are selected:

    tasksel --list-tasks | grep ^i


This checks what the current value of "tasksel/first" in the debconf database is:

    nano /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat
    ^W
    tasksel


    /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkgsel.postinst          [sh]
    /usr/bin/tasksel                            [perl]
            (processes the "tasksel/first" command)
    /usr/lib/tasksel/tasksel-debconf
