Please be patient. The "extras" and "addons" are not currently supported
by Lubuntu dev so it takes a while for these changes to take place ;^)

Just moments ago I asked about why the QA Tracker is not yet showing any
Alpha 1 tests for opt-in flavors. Remember we're only at Alpha 1 testing
and no finished product should be expected because we're NOT a true
rolling release.

But I am including Julien in the conversation so he can weigh in
regarding the need to change the "depends" and "recommends" regarding
'lubuntu-restricted' packages.
