Argh, thanks! I now found the small print in the documentation that
implies this, and have added <uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera" /> to my manifest such that as
of now my app should be visible to HTC Tattoo users (I have no Tattoo
myself). My app sometimes uses autofocus but also works without, so
autofocus support by the phone is not required by my app and was
apparently inadvertently implied by the new Android defaults. It would
be nice to have some sort of Market visibility test for a range of
popular devices, because it is easy to overlook such details and hard
to test for without buying tons of devices...
