Proposal to streamline maemo repos. PLEASE give your feedback and

Proposal:
1. To change the name of the "contrib" repository name to "extras"

Impact to developers/contributors/users of contrib
- Currently configured repository in /etc/apt/sources.list would
have to be changed

Sorry, I think you're too late. You should have considered these
issues in advance, and introducing another "please change your
settings" to users just looks a little unprofessional so soon after
the EABI change (which we all agree was worthwhile, but the users
don't think they see the benefit).
I suppose the only redeeming feature would be that there aren't *many*
projects yet using contrib. However if you were going to do any such
change, make the settings more clear for a user:
* make sure the settings match those provided by default by the AM
* if "free non-free" doesn't match the defaults, make it as simple as
possible. Why does the Debian distinction need to apply here, given
the limited data entry on a Maemo device?
Cheers,
Andrew
