Those aren't actually shipped with Krita. If they show up, you might have the create resources installed: I think they are in there. We only ship your chaos and evolutions set right now :-).

Yes, we need to solve that. That's probably (well, almost certainly) going to be 2.5 stuff: we probably need to package the brush inside the kpp file as well.
