Unless the science metapackages will be uploaded again for lenny, this is moot for the current release. > > Effect regarding package creation: > - Closes the bug. Should work so far for science.

I think that the automatic solution proposed below is better - but that you should implement this as a temporary workaround until someone gets around to implementing the better solution. This gets the problem off Daniel's back and onto ours - and it is easier for us to do the work too. > So I prefer to implement the solution in the Blends scope to avoid > unwanted side effects and make the wanted feature available for more > people in one rush. > > What do you think? > Unless you plan to release a new version of the science packages in time for lenny, then there is no immediate hurry, but we should bear the pain rather than Daniel.
