actually it's avoidpackages.txt (generated via blends-dev at build 
time, afaict). see the 'wanted-list' and 'unwanted-list' scripts in the 
CD-administrator directory. 

IIRC packages listed as Ignore: in src:debian-edu/tasks files are only 
added to the image if 'export COMPLETE=1' is contained in CONF.sh (last 
time for the squeeze dvd image).
