Does this not mean that there ought to be a more convenient way for
users to discover that they need to activate an additional repository
(say, by somehow providing "pointers" from dummy meta "packages" within
the main archive towards other repos, or else via some tasks-like
mechanism or some such) and a user-friendly way of enabling such
repos ?
To provide this infrastructure is surely out of scope for Debian Med
proper but seems to be a useful target for Blends as such but needs
to be implemented in core Debian.
