So I think it is a very good idea to check whether our new method

current and new blends-dev I wrote a script "blendsdev_compare"(simple
diff command was not working because packages where not in the same
order):. I generated the orig.tar.gz for debian-med with the current(_cur)
and the new blends-dev into folders like:
debian-med-1.13.1_cur (current blends-dev)
and
debian-med-1.13.1_new (new blends-dev)
And below I dump the differences between the control files from current and
new blends-dev using the script:
./blendsdev_compare -d
../debian-med-1.13.1_cur/debian/control,../debian-med-1.13.1_new/debian/control
-c
For surprise there are a lot of differences in "Suggests" headers. There
are a lot of missing "Suggests" packages from UDD so missing from the
control file. I have attached a control.diff with the output of
the blendsdev_compare script. The control.diff contains packages which are
included in the current blends-dev and are not included in the new.
Example of the output comparing for debian-med:
* Comparing med-practice
--> diff in suggests
[ u'mirrormed',
u'elexis',
u'openpms',
u'proteus',
u'ginkgocadx',
u'freeicd',
u'clearhealth',
u'freeshim',
u'medintux',
u'resmedicinae',
u'tinyheb',
u'sqlclinic',
u'remitt',
u'openrep',
u'freemed',
u'elementalclinic',
u'mirth',
u'freeb']
With a quick search: the above packages do not exist into
blends_dependencies_alternatives so they are also not included into the
control file. These packages are not found into UDD so they not included
at all in blends_dependencies_alternatives table from the
blends_metadata_gatherner.
Nice to have you met at DebConf
