Yay! I'm going to put that on my business card!

Only because they're unstable development releases, and I'd assume that you
guys were more interested in getting the stable releases rock solid first. I
don't think I'd even recommend that it go in sid until it reaches 2.2.

acme was not in the 2.0.x Desktop release, so can be considered a third
party app (it happens to be on the final list of modules for 2.2 now, too).
eog was in the 2.0.x Desktop release (and has important things above it,
such as Nautilus), so it's probably best to stick to the 2.0.x versions for
now.
