Yes. I've just tested it and I can see the same problem. By switching
to the syslog (VT4) I can see that there problem is with the mutt
package:

---
Nov  2 18:14:59 in-target: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Nov  2 18:14:59 in-target:  mutt : Depends: libgpgme11 (>= 1.2.0) but it is not installable
Nov  2 18:14:59 in-target:         Depends: libnotmuch4 (>= 0.21~rc1) but it is not installable
Nov  2 18:14:59 in-target: E: in-target: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

There is a bug here, and I think it's possibly in tasksel. Mutt is not
on the installation CD, and neither are its dependencies libgpgme11
and libnotmuch4.

*However*, the installer has automatically added security.debian.org
to the sources.list of the new system and peformed an "apt-get
update". This found a security update for mutt, and mutt is Priority:
standard so tasksel decided it should be installed. But the
dependencies are not on security.debian.org and not on the CD -->
problem.

That's how this becomes a problem. For now, if you have security
updates installed then you'll need to enable a mirror or start with a
larger installation CD. Sorry... :-/
