Yes.

Well, currently blends-* is only in experimental because we undergone a
name change from "Custom Debian Distributions" to "Debian Pure Blends" [1].
If you use cdd-common and cdd-dev from Etch ... well, rather Lenny -
I think we might have left compatibility with the cdd-* in Etch - you
gain the same functionality and the new blends source package creates
cdd-common and cdd-dev compatibility package with wrappers.  I just
kept it in the experimental sandbox to make sure everything works fine
for all Blends.  You might expect an upload to unstable around April.
So using cdd-* is fine - just have a look at the debian-med or debian-science
packages in Lenny (or testing/unstable).

Thanks.

As I said: Feel free to ask if something remains unclear.  Just for your
information: I just pushed tasks files for Debian Accessibility project
into the blends SVN.  They are in about the same situation as Debian Lex
to start with this technique.

Kind regards
