Perhaps you mean it is a reason you disapprove of? I think you misunderstood Andreas statement above and sensed something negative which wasn't there in the first place. Although I am quite new to the project, I have no doubt that all Blends projects could discuss any kind of problems with the tools on this list and find a solution that benefits them all. However to start any kind of improvement you must be aware of that something needs to be addressed. That's the simple quintessence of the above paragraph. For me and Debian Games blends-dev just works. I can also live with Section: metapackages because it seems to be the obvious place for metapackages. When I want to remove all packages in one go, I run »apt-mark auto <metapackage«. It is quite understandable that different people and projects have different needs but I don't see a reason why we could not discuss flaws in blends-dev and try to fix them, so that all projects will see improvements not only a single one.
