Daniel, apparently I missed these (and possibly other) threads due to

Are those two packages proprietary? Otherwise, why not specify where 
they're coming from?

Unfortunately, I don't think it's adequate for us to carry any packages

Copy & paste error? Please remove things that are not necessary for your 
submission.

If you're still in draft mode and just want comments (and not aiming for 
merges just yet), please add [RFC PATCH ...] to the subject line.
