It occurs to me the reason you are confused is that when I 'Standard
System' you are thinking I mean 'typical system' when in fact I mean
that I select the option 'Standard System' on the tasksel menu. 

Tasksel's standard system mean a base install + packages with priority:
standard, which gives you a 'useful character mode operating system'
(according to policy).

There is a bug on taskel because of the terminology being
confusing, and if I am right that this what confused you perhaps you'll
want to add your comments.  I've obviously been using the installer too
often lately.

Regards,

Daniel
