No, it is not really a problem. It is just the way blends work. The blends website shows you all the packages that are available for you to install in the e.g. video category. Libav-tools now shows in the "Official Debian packages with lower relevance" category (because I dropped it to Suggests): https://blends.debian.org/multimedia/tasks/video I don't imagine anyone would be crazy enough to install one of the meta packages with suggestions included. Anyway, I suppose libav and ffmpeg is a bit of a special case, as it is a transitional package. And anyone that is using libav in a script or whatever will already have it installed. The bug is still open, so when it is time for the next upload I will remember to remove it. Thanks for following up with the query. Cheers, Ross
