I also think this is the way to go for debian-gis.
gpsdrive is horribly unmaintained, and I haven't found the motivation yet
to fix that.
osmosis-plugin-borderextract was removed from the archive recently, I just
removed it from the osm task too.
doris, snaphu, tinyows & libgeotiff-epsg are in contrib/non-free, I think
these should be(come) Suggests instead of dropping them entirely.

I don't expect any more changes for jessie except the update for postgis
that Markus is working on, but this shouldn't affect the Blends tasks.
I also don't expect changes by the Release Team that will affect the
Blends tasks, so we don't have to consider option 2.
