  • In which tasksel task we can add the "pat" package?

    Hello,

    the "pat" package is not included in any hamradio-* task.
    Since it sends email I think that the hamradio-datamodes could be a
    suitable task and since it uses AX.25 amongo other protocols, also hamradio-packet could be a suitable task, do we add it to both tasks?

    pat - Winlink client for amateur radio email https://packages.debian.org/sid/pat

    pat is an odd one since afaik it doesn't include an actual modem
    itself, so it's more like a router built on top of other links.

    How about both? (There is also the option to choose between Recommends
    and Suggests, fwiw. Not that I have any suggestion on that...)
