BTW:
What is the exact meaning/purpose/use of task-proper-tools?

The list contains a lot of tools with existing alternatives (e.g. syslog-ng vs. rsyslog or pump vs. dhcpcd). If an image contains for example rsyslog and task-proper-tools then syslog-ng is installed too although it is not used (rsyslog has a higher u-a prio). So it senselessly occupies image space. :(
