I think there are different kinds of blends: some *are* "more seperated
from Debian" while others are "more something on top of Debian"…
IOW: I think there is value in being able to choose some blends directly
in isolinux, while others are better suited with (possibly additional)
debconf questions.
(and I think I also like KiBi's latest idea of only showing (all the)
blends if the users chooses blends…)
