Re: Bug#720199: section: metapackage for debian-edu packages (Re: Bug#719951: general: Autoremove Wants to remove Entire system)
Hi Holger,
that's an interesting issue you are reporting here. IMHO it should be
rather filed against blends-dev. IMHO we should create
Section: metapackages
except if some other section is specified inside the tasks file. May
be it is even better to force "Section: metapackages" in any case and
override any "Section" setting inside a task. What do you think?

Holger, please be nice to other Blends and keep us informed. I can not
guarantee that I fetch all new things / issues in Debian Edu.
Thanks for considering
Andreas.
