Sorry if I was unclear.  It is absolutely not a requirement for a package
to be in main for it to be discussed at UDS.

The requirement is that all packages included in a UEC Image (and, I
believe other official distribution media) must be in main.  Because of
that, the proposed new packages have nothing to do with uec-images.

We can (and will) absolutely discuss packaging new upstream sources.  Its
just that the discussion is not relavant to the uds session that Clint
mentioned.
