If you develop an application that uses MapView (with your manifest declaring a uses-library node with com.google.android.maps), it will never install on a device that does not have Maps (actually Google Maps is not required, it's the Google Maps library that is required. I'm guessing if your device doesn't have the application, it doesn't have the library either.)
The MapView class is not part of the standard API (its namespace is not android.* but com.google.android.*), hence the reason it's now published as part of the Google APIs add-on, and requires the uses-library entry in the manifest.
