Blah blah blah. What matters is the maintainers' views (as long as common sense applies). They chose to follow upstream's choices, which is usually a sane thing to do (unless upstream is crazy). Now if you don't like those choices, pick your own packages yourself, build your own meta package, or whatever. Plenty of RC bugs to submit patches for. Surely more interesting than those meta packages, right? Mraw, KiBi.
