This. Though, such an approach won't work for interactive CLI apps like htop and mutt though. It doesn't really solve the problem for stuff like, say, netcat or procmail and the like. And I'd still like stuff like that in Extras. Maybe just flag non-interative CLI apps' package descriptions so the user has a fair chance of understanding why there's no icon for offlineimap after installing? This has got me thinking though. It's one thing to have a broad and quality selection of apps on maemo. But it would be an enirely different level of innovative if there were a simple graphical way to string together non-interactive CLI apps with pipes and redirection.
