As long as the debs are targeted for maemo, there is no difference.
Generally speaking, "armel" is a clarification of "arm" that reflects the endianness of the architecture. Technically, arm processors can be either little-endian ("armel") or big-endian ("armeb"). Nokia's arm processors are little-endian (similar to x86-based architectures).
