I also think this is the way to go for debian-gis. gpsdrive is horribly unmaintained, and I haven't found the motivation yet to fix that. osmosis-plugin-borderextract was removed from the archive recently, I just removed it from the osm task too. doris, snaphu, tinyows & libgeotiff-epsg are in contrib/non-free, I think these should be(come) Suggests instead of dropping them entirely. > 2) Render the current state of Git and hope that release team will > also accept new binary packages. > I remember, that I was optimistic before the freeze but I'm not > sure any more. I don't expect any more changes for jessie except the update for postgis that Markus is working on, but this shouldn't affect the Blends tasks. I also don't expect changes by the Release Team that will affect the Blends tasks, so we don't have to consider option 2.
