Maemo will never 'reject' a package; extras-devel and extras-testing are always open

However a package may not be deemed to meet the QA criteria for "extras" (one of
which is a bug tracker).

Maybe we should have extras-wild ? (So that non-QA-ed packages aren't bundled
with QA-able ones that are on their way to Extras)

Users can add Extras and Extras-wild if they wish.

FWIW, Nokia would *never* enable (or even mention!) Extras-wild on an
out-of-the-box tablet. Extras, we hope, would be suitable.
