Since there is such a lively discussion going on... May be the time is ripe to discuss a possibility to merge in debian/blends, which was used by blends-inject we crafted to inject packages into multiple task pages?
E.g. we have atm: psychopy/debian/blends:Tasks: debian-science/psychophysics, psychopy/debian/blends: debian-med/psychology pyxnat/debian/blends:Tasks: debian-science/neuroscience-cognitive, pyxnat/debian/blends: debian-med/imaging-dev and the rest of those files was the content to extend debian/control with information for injection into tasks files -- now contained in debian/upstream. So what about adding a new field to debian/upstream: Blends: - blend: debian-science task: psychophysics - blend: debian-med task: imaging-dev package: example-dev so then the repositories blends scanner would inject them into the task pages?
