Could you elaborate on that? I see a mention that X hwe bits are
finally moving from tasks to metapackages -> and does that make things
borked up for lubuntu alternates.
I can't think of the reason straight away - apart from lubuntu-desktop
is tasks based installation - normal X is in lubuntu-task thus
installing hwe X as a metapackage borks up and we cannot remove tasks
from release pocket or some such?!

Could we at least seed new hwe metapackages on the lubuntu alternate
cd (increasing the, cause the normal X will also stay) such that hwe X
stack is available off it?

Also, I had the impression that hwe kernels were already metapackages
and a choise to install which one is offered in d-i, isn't it? How
does that work?
