BTW I've got almost all of the bits in place to allow one to test this
just by pushing repos on salsa.

The only missing bit AFAIK is getting the step where tasksel gets
installed into the target system, and then run, to be able to grab the
version of tasksel to use from an alternative apt repository (which is
already being created as part of the salsa-CI pipeline I've got setup),
which I think ought to be a case of running apt update an extra time at
the right moment.

Fixing that last bit is next on my TODO list. Once done, that should
allow us to try things out rather more easily, and thus have a chance to
demonstrate that they are ready for a wider audience.

I'll follow up here once I've got all the bits in place.  I also expect
to have time to work on getting Blends into d-i after that.

Cheers, Phil.
