Now that I've had some time to look at the patch, I really don't see it solving anything. After seeing Steve's comment, I do agree, it simply puts up needless barriers to updating metapackages. Sorry, but from Ubuntu Studio and Edubuntu, this is a Nack. I hope other flavors follow suit and don't accept this patch.
