An application depending on python2.5-minimal got promoted to Extras from
-testing. Python2.5-minimal depends on pymaemo-optify, so that got
promoted too.

The question is why it shows up in Downloads as it is in section devel and
not in a user/* section. This is something I need to check more closely as
that seems to be a bug in the importer for Downloads.
