It should be allowed to use commands / facilities provided by
third-party packages it explicitly depends on. I think that's the
intent anyway based on other parts of the document.
3rd party apps must only depend on the core components or on things that
are included with the app.
not other (4th party?) things.
Can you clarify the scope of this "must not". It'd be very limiting if we can't
build on each others work, especially in the community repo - but also in the sanctioned
commercial services.
but that's what it means. "MeeGo compliant" means "runs on all versions
of MeeGo"; by that nature it can't mean "runs only on versions of MeeGo
that have non-standard packages installed".
it goes down a slippery slope if one would allow "4th party" components;
what if they're commercial and require obscure licensing deals? what if
it's only available on say the Nokia version of MeeGo. Or the Intel one.
or .. or ..
