Ok, I'm agree, I suposed a Debian blend should be made from *pure* official Debian. But there is another additional doubt if we include a package that isn't in Debian repos, except those metapackages that we need anyway (free-pascal and lazarus, for example) the distro couldn't be called a blend anymore?
As you maybe guessed already, it would be wrong to call such a mix a "Debian Pure Blend", becuase mixing with non-Debian packages makes it "unpure".
But hey - this does not mean that we cannot be friends - we are still interested in helping you out with whatever it is you are working on! This term is simply a tool - a reference point - to work from. Yes, it would certainly be cool if you could really do a true "Debian Pure Blend", but for many purposes that is just not possible.
What might be interesting is to *both* work on a "Debian Pure Blend" and at the same time setup automated routines to generate an install CD, USB stick or whatever from your Debian Pure Blend mixed with the "unpure" parts that you need. That way others with similar needs as you can benefit from the 99% shipped with Debian, either as-si, or as basis for their own similar "minimal fork of Debian".
So please tell us more about your project, if interested in working together with us one way or another.
Even if you want to do it all on your own, then the simple act of describing your plans here on this list might inspire others in their plans :-)
