That is probably the main driver here. Please note that this is now
"opt-in" as changed to resolve #825004.
I will open wishlist bug reports for all blends mentioned in the web

Could you put the "Install: true" tag into the task headers of the
debian-med package that should go into the default installation, and
edit the debian-blends-tasks.desc in the blends package to reflect the
selection you make?
