I run into problems when I execute this literally and then actually
call the package me.test: there are several spots in the generated
that point to optilux.policy.  I would just do:

  paster create -t plone

Do you mean the Zope Control Panel or the Plone control panel (site
setup)?  I assume the Zope one, so the Products url would be
http://localhost:8080/Control_Panel/Products/manage_main

Is that the one you mean?

If yes, then it works fine for me when I try it.

Do you get any errors when starting the instance on the foreground,
so with 'bin/instance fg'?  The normal 'bin/instance start' can
continue when faced with errors that on the foreground would quit the
process.  The jury is still out on whether that is a feature or a
bug... ;-)

Both seem fine.
