Jarod,

I'm not complaining; really! I've been happily following the devel version of 
these packages from wilson.net and waiting for their official release from 
extras. Thanks for the work you have put in.

But, forgetting the meta packages for the moment, I would expect at the same 
time as beryl-core was pushed to extras, to at least also be able to pull 
beryl-manager, beryl-settings, beryl-plugins, emerald and emerald-themes. 
What is the point of even making beryl-core available without these packages 
also having been released at the same time?
