Hi Yaroslav,

Right. Finally this is also the main point and I'd call the project
successful if this is solved.

I wanted to explicitly mention Debtags because I'm hoping that some
"fresh blood" could get new / better ideas than me and might find an
easy way to include Debtags information. For instance in an UDD based
method to create metapackages you (could) have tasks and debtags
information side by side. (The "could" part is just discussed in
another thread here on the list - read more in a couple of minutes.)
So we could in principle merge the metapackage creation procedure (to
make sure those people who say "I prefer debtags over tasks - and so I
do nothing for the Blends framework tools" will lose a (non)argument).
IMHO this can be discussed in the GSoC term. The problem with
discussing this in advance is that those few people who are involved are
way to busy to discuss anything - at least this is my experience from
the past.
Feel free to edit the wiki to make this idea more precise.
Kind regards
Andreas.
