OK. That shouldn't need much from this team, it's just about when the
blendsel stuff is in d-i builds. I *don't* plan on doing anything to
ensure that all the required packages are available on media, though -
IMHO that would shuffle things around too much for other users. If you
want the blends selection to work flawlessly, then you'll either need
a larger set of images or a net connection to find a mirror. I trust
that's OK?
