Yes, cluster is still a superset.
The lower metapackages are also installable using the beta installer on stock Ubuntu. It's having the -development repo enabled that's key. The install script checks clusterinfo, but you can frob sources.list by hand too. cluster.local won't work because obviously getcluster won't exist before the install.
