To reiterate that I really understand your 'it' in "... that it should
have ...": Did I understood you right that every tasks page should
feature a link to its respective metapackage page on packages.debian.org?

I was somehow distracted by the three different geography related
packages of different Blends to get this out of your mails.

I actually never thought about this because I assumed that people know
how to find packages at packages.debian.org but probably that's narrow
minded and our target visitor of the tasks page just dows not see a
relation.

Please make a suggestion where I should actually place the link and which
text it should feature.  (I'm a little bit unsure how to reasonably do
this because of my narrow mindedness about this.)

Kind regards

       Andreas.
