    Dear Debian Jr maintainers,

    in the alpha-6 release of the Debian installer, a preliminary way was introduced to install a default package selection for each Debian Pure
    Blend:

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/05/msg00004.html

    To get this alive, it is needed to define which tasks shall be included
    into the package selection. The easiest way here is to put a keyword

    Install: true

    into the headers of all tasks which should be installed by default if
    the Debian Junior blend is selected. If this is unsuitable for your
    blend, you may also directly edit the debian-junior section in "debian-blends-tasks.desc" of the "blends" package source (or send me a
    patch so that I can do it).

    https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/blends/blends.git

    Note that in the current implementation only one checkbox per Blend is foreseen. Personally, I believe this is the best compromise we can get
    here. Please join the discussion in the Debian-Blends mailing list if
    you have other opinions here.

    https://lists.debian.org/debian-blends/2016/05/msg00047.html

    The bug containing the discussion about the implementation:

    https://bugs.debian.org/758116

    If you think that you don't want to be listed by the default Debian
    installer, you can just ignore (and close) this bug.

    Best regards

    Ole
