Bug#758096: Blends in D-I tasksel selection? (Was: Filed Bug#758096: tasksel: Allow to select specific packages during installation - just "DE", "Web server", "Mail server" is NOT enough)
Hi,
I guess the sad news that Joey Hess leaves Debian has spread also to
Debian Blends list. The direct consequence for Blends is that Joey will
not work on this bug (#758096) and will also most probably not rise any
opinion on it any more but we somehow need to move on.
I realised that the changelog says:
...
tasksel (3.23) unstable; urgency=medium
...
* Added a Parent field, which results in a simple nested hierarchy
display. (Currently only one level deep, and not collapsible since
debconf doesn't have an appropriate widget.)
...
* Removed mail-server, dns-server, database-server, file-server tasks,
which were not well enough defined to be useful and whose menu
space will be better used for blends or openstack tasks.
Closes: #604100
...
which according to Git (git://git.debian.org/git/tasksel/tasksel.git)
relates to this commit.

hierarchical tasks, desktop selection, and general massive changes
...

This again shows Joey's great way to deal with things by simply working
at something rather than doing a lot of talk. I really appreciate this
- another thanks to Joey.
As far as I can see without testing this means regarding the display of
Blends in D-I (#758096) that we only need to *decide* and in case we
want to do this add the needed bits of data.
Any opinions regarding a decision?
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: I'll be AFK from 19. Nov to 3. Dez.
