So (to get some context here) the "Apps" part will be like
http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/ and the "Packages" part will be
like http://maemo.org/packages/? Sounds good to me, and makes a lot of
sense. +1 for that :) Packages will then also show packages that are
in Core and Handset and all the "built-in" repositories, right?
