Thanks for your acknowledgement.  I guess I could have better summed it
up as "conflicts are not a debtags problem -- we already do conflict
management elsewhere, so let's not reinvent the wheel".  In practical
terms, this means a debtags-tasksel must interface to existing package
management tools so that existing conflict resolution code can be
invoked when those conflicts occur.  My other ideas about making
conflict resolution smarter, if they have merit, should go into those
tools, not into debtags-tasksel itself.
