   * Task packages are back! For now, the task-* metapackages are only
-    used to hold Depends and Recommends; all other task info that tasksel
-    uses remains in debian-tasks.desc. Plan is to migrate the rest into
-    the task packages later, where possible.

   * FTP-master: I've put the task packages in a new section, "tasks",
     which I hope you'll approve & create.
+  * Translators: DDTP translations of task packages are now displayed
+    by tasksel, so it's important that the (visible) tasks' descriptions
+    be translated there.
   * Remove rarian-compat from task-gnome-desktop. Dependencies on
     scrollkeeper should default to rarian-compat by now.
   * Moved iceweasel to Recommends of task-desktop; was in Key/Depends.
