* mozilla-firefox is being renamed to firefox. Added firefox but left the
  mozilla-firefox package in for now, until firefox reaches testing.
* mozilla-psm is not needed for firefox so removed it from the desktop task

* When running aptitude in debconf-apt-progress, pass -q to it to disable
  incremental progress displays being logged to stderr, since eg in d-i that
  results in a lot (possibly many megabytes) of download progress info in
  the logs.
* Support backing up from tasksel if it is run as part of a larger
  debconf-using program such as d-i; while tasksel will not enable the
  backup capb itself, if it is enabled and the user chooses to back up, it
  will exit with code 10. Note that this code, rather than 30, was chosen
  to interoperate with d-i, which rather inexplicably uses 10 instead of 30
  to signal backup across process boundries.

In debconf test, also test for DEBCONF_READFD being set, to detect when
tasksel is being run with a passthrough debconf frontend configured,

* Joey Hess
  - Add libtheora0 to desktop task so totem can play these files.
    (See #301262)
  - Add Bulgarian language and desktop language tasks contributed by
    Anton Zinoviev. Closes: #271178
  - Add tf2pt1, ttf2pt1-chinese and ttfprint to chinese-s an chinese-t to
    support printing of asian fonts. Closes: #305148
  - Remove language-env from chinese-t, since language-env does not support
    Chinese simplified yet. See #301496
  - Add scim-chewing and m17n-env to chinese-t-desktop, remove old cpanel
    and chinput input methods. Closes: #301496
  - Also remove language-env from chinese-s as it doesn't support that
    either, and remove obsolete cpanel from chinese-s-desktop too.
  - Add basic Arabic tasks. Closes: #282493
  - Add printconf to print-server for automatic printer setup. Closes: #293108
  - Add windbind to file-server since it's commonly used with samba.
    Closes: #292936
  - Look for desc files in /usr/local/share/tasksel too. Closes: #286170
  - Replace mozilla with firefox in desktop task. Closes: #282166
  - Add "force" test script contributed by Free Ekanayaka. This allows
    adding Test-force lines to tasks that force them to be installed,
    skipped, marked, or shown, without needing to write any code,
    and may be useful for CDDs. Closes: #275303
  - Allow later task descs to override earlier ones, useful if you
    want to blow away the standard Debian tasks, perhaps by using Test-force
    to hide them. Closes: #274936
  - Add a "new-install" test script (and export NEW_INSTALL for test
    scripts), to allow special control of tasks during new installs.
  - Add a new "standard" task which defaults to being marked for install
    on new installs and is otherwise hidden (because removing it makes
    little sense), and which causes all standard or above priority packages
    to be installed. Closes: #301273, #298702
  - Remove the -r, -i, and -s switches as unnecessary given the standard
    task.
  - Remove the -n switch since it was intended to be used with other removed
    switches.
  - Make the lang test only do anything on new installs, to avoid tasksel
    looking at the LANG variable in everyday use.
  - Rename Packages field in input task files to Packages-list to allow
    really specifying a Packages value.
  - Deal better with ctrl-c cancel while in debconf.
* Kęstutis Biliūnas
  - Added openoffice.org-l10n-lt to lithuanian-desktop task.
  - Commented out kde-i18n-lt as the Lithuanian language currently is
    not supported by upstream.
  - Added aspell-lt to lithuanian task.
* Christian Perrier
  - Fix errors in English descriptions of tasks:
    - web-server: "select packages"
    - *-desktop : "localises the desktop"
                  "that make it"
    - thai : "for Thai speaking people"
    All translations unfuzzied
    Closes: #306081
* Translations

* Joey Hess
  - Don't require whitespace after keys with multiline values. Closes: #286054
  - Patch from Denis to always use untranslated values in the debconf
    choices list of tasks, as used for preseeding. Closes: #278186
  - If the user chooses manual selection and does not change any other task
    selections, run aptitude without --visual-preview parameter, as that
    parameter made it skip the package browser. Closes: #272360
* Translations
  - Bosnian translation updates by Safir Secerovic

* Joey Hess
  - Save some space in desktop task by making it use
    gnome-desktop-environment as the key package for gnome, and only include

    urgency. Closes: #256346

Should fix issues with doincludes.pl failing on autobuilders that
either have no available file, or don't have kde in the availabe file
(woody systems).
