I didn't, but Amit did. However, it wasn't in time for this upload. It
will be in the next kernel though.

As far as the linux-meta package, it basically produces packages like:

linux-image-generic
linux-image-ume
linux-image-server

These are empty packages that depend on the latest versions of the real
kernel packages. E.g

linux-image-generic: Depends on linux-image-2.6.22-8-generic, 
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-8-generic

When the Ubuntu system is installed, the meta packages ensure that when
we upgrade the kernel (to linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic), that this new
kernel is now what linux-image-generic depends on, and it causes it to
be installed for the user.

So it's just a convenience package.
