Rick,

I have double-checked with Jamie and Tyler from the Security Team.  You
are doing the right thing by build-depending on those modules that are
available as separate packages in xenial, thank you for this.  However,
this does not mean that these packages you build-depend on can go into
main without going through the MIR process.  To the contrary, adding the
build-dependency is the trigger that lets us know that the packages
*need* to go through the MIR process (and in particular, the security
review of these modules).  Otherwise, the juju team could in theory add
new bundled modules indefinitely to the source without ever getting
Security Team visibility on that code.

This will not block the feature freeze exception for juju-core 2.0, we
will continue moving ahead with that in parallel, but we do need the
juju team to start that MIR process for these new universe build-deps so
that they can be properly reviewed prior to 16.04 release.
