Ok, I partially misunderstood you first. Well if we add those packages
to the sourceforge download area then they will be split up when you
enter the page containing the packages. This means that you will have
all gstreamer core releases listed togheter and all gst-plugins releases
listed togheter etc. Which might make people simply miss seeing them.
Look at the galeon download area and pretend 'unstable' is the
gst-plugins package to see what I mean:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6999&release_id=73630
