Please forgive me that I was bothering you with some debug info of the
Blends importer which is not intended to be inspected by users (and thus
not online). I was considering to do you a favour to provide additional
information which is IMHO helpful to spot things like this:
debian-edu(master) $ gbp-pull
debian-edu(master) $ head -n1 debian/changelog
debian-edu (1.809) UNRELEASED; urgency=high
debian-edu(master) $ grep ion2 tasks/*
tasks/common: fvwm1, fvwm95, habak, hanterm-xf, icewm, ion2, ion3, jwm, \

Yes, Ubuntu is in fact unrelated. I was expecting you to do some
`grep -v <irrelevant stuff>`
I personally like to browse the whole list since it might give you some
clue about renamed packages which are featuring the old name at these
other sources and you are able to remember - hey, this package is
renamed now in our relevant source

Holger, it would be really great if you would dig into the tasks files
before you claim that they are OK. You just told me how outdated ion2
is and you keep on claiming that the tasks are fine? Again: The UDD
importer is not primarily intended for Blends developers but it really
helps to detect problems. I'd rather say that the tasks job logfile is
broken since it is missing ion2 (and fvwm1, fvwm95, etc.). As always
patches are welcome.
Hope this helps
Andreas.
