Quick yes , dirty not :) . We need this packages for serveral reasons.
We use debian and metadistros for to show linux , debian and free
software to the people. We can show debian woody with gnome1.4 :). And
we can wait to the next release of debian, because we need a metadistro
with a beatiful desktop on 15th september 2001, because we ha a national
conference of linux users (in spain) on 23,24,25 september. This year
may be can come to the conference 2000 persons or more. And we have more
events along this year as important as the other one.
