They are just a static copy, so I don't know what could be wrong here.

I forgot to change the docs here. Fixed in the repo.

Why should one do this? Additional files for local purposes can always
be in the sources.

I don't want to query all packages, but only those which are in the
blend. Therefore, one needs to give this list, which is then used as
input.
I however meant the blends-gen-control utility itself, not the package.

Yes, it is for the metapackage creation only in the moment, and it
contains the versions for all archs (but only for the selected release).
For the web page, this needs probably to be extended to return the
packages for all (or a list of) Debian releases.
Also, for the web page this is however only what we (probably) need to
gather from the "packages" table. One would (in a similar manner) need
to select from popcon etc. And probably you want to create the Blends
infrastructure itself ("Blend", "Task" objects) from UDD instead of from
the files.
So, there is clearly some work for the web pages; the main idea in
blends-dev is to create some common infrastructure so that blends
related stuff does not need to be developed from scratch again.
So, I will now add a "python3-blends" package, which however needs then
to go though NEW... If then everyone is happy, we can move back to
unstable.
Cheers
Ole
