Hi Holger, that's an interesting issue you are reporting here. IMHO it should be rather filed against blends-dev. IMHO we should create
Section: metapackages except if some other section is specified inside the tasks file. May be it is even better to force "Section: metapackages" in any case and override any "Section" setting inside a task. What do you think?
