Ok thanks.

It would be great to be able to still provide the app to everybody
(both Google Market & outside), but just no maps functionality enabled
if Maps can't be found/isn't available.

Can't I do this as a workaround to make my app handle that case too?

1- remove the uses-library tag from the manifest (thus everybody can
install it)
2- try to load for example the MapView class via reflection or a
wrapper as mentioned here 
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/backward-compatibility-for-android.html
3- if not there, don't show maps functionality. If there, assume it's
available.

BTW, is the loading of libs specified via uses-library different from
the "regular" class/lib loading?
