But as far as 'Ignore:' is concerned, the content of the created Stretch USB ISO image is different from the information in d-e/debian/README.source, also available here: https://sources.debian.org/src/debian-edu/1.936/debian/README.source/ The packages listed as ignored are not included in the ISO image. > Since the USB/BD is built, all packages (both amd64 and i386) pulled in > by all supported desktop environments are contained in the ISO image. > > So I figure that nothing would change if the ISOs would be build > (again). While this is supposed to be true, I tried to find out why the information in README.source seemed to be wrong (and those provided in blends doc matched the ISO creation outcome). Well, the information in README.source is still valid. What differs (since Wheezy, the test DVD ISO exepted) is the ISO creation CONF script: [test@star CD-administrator]$ grep -r COMPLETE= CONF* CONF-edu-testing-nolocal-dvd.sh:export COMPLETE=1 CONF-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-jessie-amd64-i386-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-jessie-usbstick.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-lenny-amd64-i386-powerpc-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-lenny-test-amd64-i386-powerpc-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-squeeze-amd64-i386-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-squeeze-dvd.sh:export COMPLETE=1 CONF-squeeze-test-amd64-i386-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-squeeze-test-dvd.sh:export COMPLETE=1 CONF-stretch-amd64-i386-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-stretch-usbstick.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-wheezy-amd64-i386-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-wheezy-i386-dvd.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-wheezy-test-amd64-i386-netinst.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-wheezy-test-usbstick.sh:export COMPLETE=0 CONF-wheezy-usbstick.sh:export COMPLETE=0 [test@star CD-administrator]$ So it seems, if we want 'Ignore:' packages to be included in the USB/BD ISO image COMPLETE=1 should be used.
