Hi Tom,

the unmet dependency there might not be tasksel (which is a virtual
package) rather a chain of deps which goes down to dbus. Since an
updated version of dbus is now available in ascii's repos, you should
be able to dist-upgrade to ascii (we will come back to tasksel as
well, in due course).
