The blend-dev framework takes care of downgrading missing (or non-free)
packages to Suggests when building the metapackages. Rebuilding the
metapackage should be sufficient for the time being.

The QGIS GRASS situation is a bit of a chicken & egg problem, the QGIS
upstream developers needs GRASS 7 packages to fix the GRASS 7 support in
QGIS. We can likely re-enable the GRASS support in QGIS in one of the
next 2.8 LTR releases.

The Blends metapackage doesn't need to depend on qgis-plugin-grass as it
already depends on qgis & grass, and the qgis package will take care of
pulling in qgis-plugin-grass (when it's built).

Kind Regards,

Bas
