The usage of tasksel is optional and triggered if you include a
section
Package: gis-tasks
Architecture: all
Depends: tasksel
...
in your debian/control.stub package
If you leave this out the <name>-tasks metapackage is not created and
you do not need to use tasksel at all.

Debian Med uses the tasksel installation method option and thus you just
got it. The tasksel option is provided in the hope you give you some
extra comfort but not needed at all.
BTW, Could you please be a bit more verbose what you are actually doing
(commit your blends source code for further inspection or applying
patches)? I'm specifically asking because we could actually need some
help in the multimedia issue. I'm currently try to push the Blends
technique at the Debian Multimedia team (you find the code at
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/blends/projects/multimedia/trunk/debian-multimedia
and we are probably able to cooperate.
Kind regards
Andreas.
