Ovi store applications (at least the paid ones) can't depend on extras because extras is not in control of Nokia. Stuff in extras can break any time, and Nokia would take the flak from third party developers that lost income because of the breakage.

For a dependency to be kosher for ovi store apps, it needs to be manually moved to Nokia repository.

I'm not sure what would be the best situation for Qt apps at the moment, since we have PyQt (GPL) and PySide (work in progress). As for pygtk / hildon libs, I think they should just be "frozen" and moved to the nokia repository.

For MeeGo, I think there is ample time for PySide to become ready. PySide is doing some nice stuff currently, like wrapping MeeGo Touch and mobility apis.

PS. Please send a pointer to this open letter to maemo-devel.
