Assumpte: [DNG] Xfce4 task uninstalled on upgrade to ascii
I've been having issues upgrading a standard Devuan Jessie install to
Ascii. During upgrade, the task-xfce4-desktop package gets uninstalled and
can't be installed afterwards due to dependency problems.

Jessie has tasksel=3.33+devuan1.0 and Ascii has tasksel=3.33+devuan0.3
which is preventing task-xfce4-desktop from being installed in Ascii. This
is also causing a number of xfce4-* and other packages to be marked as not
required and removable with apt-get autoremove.


# apt-cache policy tasksel
tasksel:
  Installed: 3.33+devuan1.0
  Candidate: 3.33+devuan1.0
  Version table:
 *** 3.33+devuan1.0 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.33+devuan0.3 500
        500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages


# apt-cache policy task-xfce-desktop
task-xfce-desktop:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.33+devuan0.3
  Version table:
     3.33+devuan0.3 500
        500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages


# apt-get install task-xfce-desktop
