Wonder why that is not part of the package as that is a terrific supplement from the Region 2 DVD set

Possibly because at the end of it the various cast and crew round on Weir for spoiling the film for the audience with the re-edit. Even Weir himself admits that directors shouldn't second-guess their work before basically just saying that's what he did anyway. Along with composer Bruce Smeaton dismissing the ending as 'airy fairy,' I'm guessing that dropping that, the deleted ending and only including the inferior director's cut is the price of getting Weir's seal of approval in much the same way that Jules Dassin insisted Criterion not include the alternate UK version of Night and the City on their disc.
