To me, this is almost reasonable except fo the "NOT in main" part. We
should not be considering components when defining sets — they are
orthogonal. In this case it would be fine to say "NOT in
ubuntu-desktop".

If fixed, then we should revisit this in our next meeting; please make
sure it is on the agenda and that you show up.

We should create the packageset with the state of the archive as it is
at the time and update it if things change.

Cheers,
