Several people where posting extras-devel as the place to install from or even direct links to .deb files to average joe. At this point is the problem. This is a place for the whole community using Nxxx devices and the maemo OS or Mer, from user to root. Preventing easy file installation progress is the right answer I guess. It is a shame that this needed to happen! Maybe service hotline called for it after people calling with briked devices... who knows.

Please keep in mind that using stable repos is the best way for joe. Using devel repos, apt-get and dpkg is for geeks/devs familiar with it, so was redpill-mode. I run a testing distribution at home, I started it with thinking to be ready for it after about one year of administrating a linux OS. Installing .deb files screwed my system several times and I needed help from friends till I was familiar with it and could solve such problems myself. Sometimes it was a painful learning experience!
