I guess I should have been more verbose: What I ment with 'generated' was the output of 'make dist' for the tasks desc file; I ran 'git status' and 'git diff' as well. Afterwards I ran 'debuild -- binary'.

What I meant and did is: Change the Makefile like stated above and run 'make dist' again. (I just wanted to understand what's going on.) This time the generated debian-med-tasks.desc file is similar to the one in git as shown by 'git diff'. > The Makefile is not changed since years. Strange, indeed. I'm at a loss here… But, with the exception of the existing (with unexplicable content) debian-med-tasks.desc file, things are IMO fine. I also did an 'apt source debian-astro' on sid and compared. Their tasks.desc file, too, has no 'Packages: list' section. So I guess you can use everything as is and this bug could be closed. Wolfgang
