Somebody proposed to make a task package that provides most packages that
FreeBSD has in base, making userland a bit more ressembling to FreeBSD.  Perhaps
that task package could also provide a few symlinks to satisfy what Jett wants.
(of course, none of this will happen unless someone volunteers to do it)

I think it'd be nice if we were more attractive to FreeBSD users.  So far from
all the people I've seen interested in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, most of them came
from a Debian GNU/Linux background.
