You can promote PyMaemo packages to extras-testing but it's not the
solution, because it doesn't help getting them to Extras (you can't
promote them there). Even if newer versions of non user/ packages were
promoted to Extras it doesn't help much getting them to end users
devices if they had earlier version of them installed because of how
Application Manager works. Currently getting something to updated
requires that update is somehow visible through user/ package both in
Application Manager and packages interface autopromotion algorithm.

Promotion system could probably be changed that it always promotes
newer version of non user/ package. One option would be that package
maintainer can promote updates of non user/ package to extras
manually, but that circumvents the whole qa process.
