I could verify the problem as described by Lucas.  Andreas, note that at
the point of the error, blends-common is only unpacked, but not yet
configured.  So I guess in the "science-lingustics depends science-config
depends blends-common" line should be (at least one) pre-depends, but
I'm not entirely sure where.
