Thanks for your analysis and your patches, Wolfgang!

I've done this change in debian-cd.git now, but as you said(?), this
will probably not be enough for the BD image, or will it?
Else we need to add them via tools/generate_debian-edu_task or probably
better via tasks/buster/Debian-edu-full

ok. as you'll have seen, I've uploaded new versions of these packages to
sid today...

I'm pretty happy about this too! blog-post pending...
Steve, do you think we could have Stretch Edu images too or is there
some problem (*besides* the non-free issue still present in Stretch
today, but I think we could fix this with a point release, see #474745
for details...)
The last half sentence is probably a note for myself, but the beginning
of that Paragraph is for Steve :) though this probably also means we'll
need to Stretch point releases until we'd have Edu Stretch images
again. (Our existing Stretch builds have been broken over time, also
because of the Alioth shutdown...)
