I need to find out how to do / where to place this because I did not yet
dealt with CGIs on udd.d.o but once your specification (see below is
fullfilled I can do this if it helps). The only thing I'm wondering
whether a CGI script should always run the query itself. It would be
way more efficient to drop the result somewhere and just deliver the
content via CGI because the usual change of the data is either once per
day or once per change in the blends tasks files (I did not yet decided
how I might trigger the importer).

I can add this easily but I think it would be very redundant to add the
full URL string for every single package in the JSON data set. Would
you think it makes sense to deliver an additional JSON data file
[{"blend": "debichem", "tasksurl": "http://blends.alioth.debian.org/debichem/tasks/"},
{"blend": "debian-med", "tasksurl": "http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/"},
...

See above.

I would think about to what export I might add this information in case
you agree to reduce the redundance a bit by providing two different data
files.

The prefix of the metapackages can be differnet from the Blends names.
In fact if I remember right DebiChem is the only one were the prefix
fits:
Debian Med: med-*
Debian Science: science-*
Debian Edu: education-*

You mean tasks that are in tasksel without using the Blends framework?
Hmmm, I'm not aware that this data is in UDD in some structured manner.
However, we could try with
SELECT depends, recommends, suggests from packages where package = 'task-gnome-desktop' ;
depends | recommends | suggests
----------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------
tasksel, task-desktop, gnome-core, network-manager-gnome | gnome, libreoffice-gnome, libreoffice-evolution, gimp, synaptic, iceweasel, libreoffice, libreoffice-gcj, libreoffice-help-en-us, mythes-en-us, hunspell-en-us, hyphen-en-us |
If this is what you want to use (probably without the "Depends: tasksel") I could
probably create a similar JSON file. As title we could use
udd=# SELECT description from packages where package = 'task-gnome-desktop' ;
description
---------------------------
GNOME desktop environment
Just tell me if this would be helpful and I could do this as well.
Kind regards
Andreas.
