Hello Andreas

I took a look into the existing perl code and I think the project got more
clear now, I will try to describe it in a few simple words:
The current the blend-gen-control  does an apt-get update and creates a
package pool, from the apt-cache dump output, with all the available
packages , then it loads the tasks files and finally generates a control
file according to the available packages(it verifies if the the described
dependencies in the tasks files exist in the package pool).

The new python design should create a package pool using information from
UDD(get available packages' information similar to apt-cache dump's
output). In that case it can create architecture dependent package
pool(query packages' information for a specific architecture instead of
using the architecture from where the blends-dev was called ) and so create
architecture dependent metapackages.

Is this approach correct?

Kind regards
Emmanouil Kiagias
