Mike,
I like this approach.  It is much easier to add things than it is to
take them away if they are in a meta-package.  There are several things
I do not and will never use.  But because of them being in the Ubuntu
Studio meta-package I can't (AFAIK) remove them.  

The work on the workflows and having them around for new users is great.
Then they can add what they need.  We can have workflows that
specifically say to install application XYZ in addition to UBS to
accomplish a specific task.

Thanks for all the hard work.

--Tim
