Can the output task name mention the parent?

In the output is there a way to highlight the task name that triggered the current cmds? In this taskfile: 
tasks:
   build-server:
     - task: install-deb
       vars: ...

   install-deb:
      - apt instal ...
tasks:
   build-server:
     - task: install-deb
       vars: ...

   install-deb:
      - apt instal ...
The output of task build-server would be: 
[install-deb] apt install ...
[install-deb] apt install ...
With no mention of build-server. Is it possible to configure task to output [build-server > install-deb]?

Right now my workaround is: 
tasks:
   build-server:
     vars: {PARENT: '{{.TASK}}'}
     cmds:
       - task: install-deb
         vars: ...

   install-deb:
     label: '{{if .PARENT}}{{.PARENT}} >{{end}}{{.TASK}}'
     cmds:
       - apt instal ...
tasks:
   build-server:
     vars: {PARENT: '{{.TASK}}'}
     cmds:
       - task: install-deb
         vars: ...

   install-deb:
     label: '{{if .PARENT}}{{.PARENT}} >{{end}}{{.TASK}}'
     cmds:
       - apt instal ...
