Yes I agree, Extras should have stable, working software.
This has been done before (see below and IRC logs for #maemo-meeting) and can be done manually by the techstaff.
You will need to prove that the application is faulty I.E (do a full bug report/full QA report) see example of a report I did for two packages.

also see link to the extras-testing QA page

Also you need to try and contact the maintainer to ask if it will be repaired.
Maybe you could start a wiki page to collate a list (similar to my Extras-Testing DARP page)
http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/Darp
or even better you could even add it to my broken packages page
http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/...roken_packages
The latter needed tidying up TBH.

Either way it is something that the Council must decide to action, so I would bring it up at the CC meeting on a Tuesday. This first of terms Council meeting maybe busy with handover stuff BTW.
