This is good to know.

Indeed, I didn't want to add more packages in this Python centric thread.

No, I was providing maemo-python-env as another example of an item
visible in the Application Manager that can't be installed.

Flashed unit with extras-devel activated straight away.

Nope, I'm acting as a the pure end user I actually am. This is why I
simply open Application Manager and click on items visible there. If
something doesn't install in extras-devel following these basic steps it
means that it can't even go to extras-testing, leave alone extras.
