I reversed now the behaviour of the flags in blends-dev, so that tasks
are *only* installed if they have an "Install: true" in the
header. Also, the -all package is only created if there was any task
with the "Install: true". This should solve the problem, so that a
workaround is not needed.

I would, however, also change the debian-blends-tasks.desc so that the
"-all" file is the key (not the -tasks file, as it is in the
moment). This would disable all blends in the installer that haven't
anything to install yet. For Debian-Edu (and others wishing their own
solution here): please edit the file afterwards and put there whatever
should be in there.

Objections on that?

Best regards

Ole

Depending how fast you need a solution you could easily add another sed
call in the new dist target to work around #825004.  Feel free to ask me
for another patch.  Its not the best method to work around but it would
definitely work.  I'd add a bit of documentation to the Makefile and
also a README.source.  Just let me know if I should push this right into
Git.

Kind regards

   Andreas.
