To answer some confusion on #ubuntu-devel: task "maintainer scripts" are run by tasksel when installing (or removing) a task. They are not run by 'apt-get install task^', and so you should not rely on them for correctness. The only ones we have at the moment simply tweak package installation order to make things work a little better in the installer, but it wouldn't be a tragedy if they never got run. (Indeed, they never do get run during live filesystem builds, and it doesn't matter in that case.)

If you need an extra script to be run to deal with the integration, then this change absolutely needs to be done in a metapackage, not in tasksel.
