task-* pattern indicate metapackages, example is task-xfce. Should check all similar names and remove them, maybe identify other patterns.

metapackages should now always mean the same thing - packages which have no own content which only purpose is to group other packages by depending on them. What was previously called metapackages in repology we now call projects, and the old term is mostly only used internally.
