You might also want to check these thread:
- gcc-4.6 and Fremantle, WIP
- studies about newer libglib on fremantle
and contact with AapoRantalainen
Unless the anyone uses apt-pinning. Isn't extras-devel meant to brick devices? D
By the way, is it possible to specify something in debian/control so that user has to specify additional parameter to install such package (as it's with debian backports)?

But it shouldn't be uploaded without testing, indeed.
