Yes, sorry for CC. At first I wanted to write you in private but I
considered it a useful general hint later.

That's since the current code to parse the tasks files is not using
deb822 reader (from debian import deb822). The tasks files are no
control files but they follow dep822 format (as for instance
debian/control files). It is pure lack that the blends-dev tools are
more tolerant here.
