+      The Debian GIS Blend metapackages can be installed on a normal Debian
+      installation. How this can be achieved depends on which version of Debian
+      you are running. On Debian Wheezy, there is the gis-tasks package which adds
+      the Debian GIS package groups to tasksel. After installing the gis-tasks
+      package you can run `tasksel` and select the package groups to install.
+      Run as root:
+<programlisting>
+<command>apt-get install gis-tasks</command>
+<command>tasksel</command>
+</programlisting>
+      On Debian Jessie, you can do the same. Or, you can also install one of the
+      metapackages directly. Again, as root:
+<programlisting>
+<command>apt-get install</command> <replaceable><metapackage></replaceable>
+</programlisting>      
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      These are the metapackages/tasks can that be installed using this method,
+      and the links to information about the included packages:
