Sounds quite interesting.

I have introduced a 'title' field. Please check again
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=blends/website.git;a=blob;f=misc/pts/taskinfo-example.py
It now creates two different JSON files that should contain all needed
information. Please tell me if something might be missing.

After a second thought things are not that simple as I've thought in the
first place. While it is easy to detect what packages do contain
tasksel input the real dependencies of the tasks are hidden *inside* the
package and not available in UDD. In other words: To create a link
from a package to the task it might belong to we need to create a new
UDD importer that parses those tasksel control files.
Kind regards
Andreas.
