Well there is no column for product image, just the rootfs which is 
something different (developer rootfs?). There is also python listed as 
being in the rootfs and it is not by default in the beta image.

But anyway, it is probably not so important what is in the image because 
of the network repositories. If something is not by default I suppose 
the dependencies pull it from the repository (if configured properly) so 
there is no need to deliver own libs anymore.

Question is whether there will be some repository preconfigured in final 
production image so it works automatically and whether it will be the 
same as maemo 2.0 used from arm scratchbox target.

Even today when I have mistral-beta configured on the beta image I see

/home/user # apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
   certs libcst maemo-launcher osso-sounds-ui
4 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1428kB of archives.
After unpacking 868kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

Is the production image compatible with maemo 2.0 so can I upgrade 
safely now? I.e is the developer rootfs simply a different selection of 
packages but using same repository as final image?
