Ok, just after hitting the send button, I came across this small
footnote in the maemo packaging policy [1] (it looks like a draft
still, but anyway is pretty clear):

3.2 The version of a package

"If the modification is intended (only) for the maemo platform,
identifier SHOULD
be "maemo"[4] In other cases some suitable other identifier should be used."

4      This is meant as a way of saying that the software is “for
maemo”, which is acceptable use of the
trademark (see the trademark policy).

So please disregard my previous message unless this is not the case anymore.
