Hi blends devs, I am currently investigating how to turn my (currently unpublished) Debian remix into a Debian Blend. I am not yet certain whether that makes sense, but that's a discussion for another time. Currently, I have one technical issue: When defining metapackages for the blend tasks, I can define relations to other packages as Depends, Recommends and Suggests. But my task also needs to prevent some packages from being installed, so I need to define a Conflicts relationship. It seems that the blends-dev tooling cannot do that, but chapter 6.1.2 of [1] suggests that it is possible. And sure enough, it is possible, if I define meta-packages myself. But what about meta-packages generated by the blends-dev tools? One option seems to be to defien meta-packages separately, and then vuild tasks that only depend on the manually created meta-package. But that seems somewhat cumbersome. If I had to do that, would I defien my own meta-packages in a different source package than the blend tasks, or mix them into it? Thanks, Nik [1] https://blends.debian.org/blends/ch06.html#metapackages
