Debian Pure Blends – Andreas Tille (Debian)

" summary

Debian Pure Blends explains how Debian identifies and groups packages useful for specific real-world tasks (e.g., education, medicine, science) inside its large package pool, using metadata and tools to make those subsets visible and to ease QA for dedicated Blend teams. It presents the approach as an alternative to creating separate derivative distributions by adapting Debian itself through small additions and organization instead of maintaining a standalone distro and infrastructure.
