Why not? You can define MeeGo compliant libraries as "libraries which depend only on packages in the core" and MeeGo compliant applications as "applications which depend only on what is in the core, or MeeGo compliant libraries", and perhaps include a definition of how dependency resolution should happen. Making Extras a "blessed" repository of packages would nicely solve that issue - you can restrict further dependencies to "libraries which are included in the core, or MeeGo compliant libraries available in Extras".
