That's one point I already asked once through IRC and no one could
answer: how could we make sure a package in fremantle extras-devel
will be installable on the device, if we don't know yet which packages
are SDK only and which will be available on the user's device?

My install tests are for now restricted to SDK and sometimes to beagle
board, but the later does not count because it still has only support
for fremantle alpha and it contains the SDK repository (same situation
as scratchbox).
