Metapackages are a tough question, but in this case a metapackage to
ease installation which requires one to use the AUR to get the
metapackage seems to be quite pointless. Besides which, uploading a
package as a reactive measure due to the lack of clarity with the former
base group feels odd when people are working behind the scenes to try to
figure out what a proper solution in the right place should look like.
