Anyway I turned svn.debian.org URLs into anonscm.debian.org and all
worked again.[2]  Just finding the reason for the problem was way
more nifty than coding[1].

I will be somehow offlinish until 9th July.  I'll join FISL[3] and will
start traveling next monday beeing back home at 8.7. evening.  Chances
are good that I'll do some stuff when traveling and when beeing at the
conference but you can never know.  So in case I will not manage to
implement the table featuring the alternatives this should be no
showstoper for the moment.

I'm not aware about this "test-.+" header fields but Petter (in CC) who
invented the original blend-gen-control might shade some light into it
whether it will be needed or not.  If it is not used in any tasks file
my guess is it is not used any more.

Kind regards
