The blendsel thing was indeed added as a feature for within the installation process only.
But people are seing this entry as well, when they execute tasksel in the installed system (which is a legitimate use case of course).
The best solution might be, to modify tasksel, so that the "Install blends" entry is only shown in the installer environment?
