I still don't understand why. Why does Magma Tester beta need to be an MCM instead of a universe? What is the MCM doing that the universe can't?
If you load this into a 3.10 image, it will load MonticelloConfigurations, loading this depends upon a file in which will patch Monticello1 (trivially), and it will patch Universes (almost trivially) in order that mcm's will work.
So, in order to post your mcm package all you need to do is to add MonticelloConfigurations as a dependency.

This seems to me like patching apt-get to accept RPM configurations to describe dependencies. I would personally rather see a patch that can read MCM and convert it to Universe configuration.
