No, no, I mean't installing *extras* is bad, nothing inherently wrong with .install files.

And Application Manager used to be able to detect duplicate repositories before (when enabled through .install), is this not so in Maemo 5?
Not sure, I ended up with a duplicate directory. The repo definitions might be slightly different that can cause this.

It's just that I find dealing with Maemo infrastructure painful and generally unpleasant, so I avoid it. Or call me lazy
Hey, I don't blame you. On the other hand, if you ever change your mind, I can help you make an initial version, from there on it's fairly painless.

BTW I had some errors installing (different dependencies/Extras clash):
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/simplejson_2.0.9_armel.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/simplejson/_speedups.so', which is also in package python-simplejson

Also, just libicu takes some 13MB of rootfs space... it would really be cool to get it optified (there, another reason for using the autobuilder as it would do this for you automatically )
