Right, sorry for hastily posting untested code. (I should know better
not to do that.)

Good question. I haven't really thought this through, obviously... :-/
Right now I would say that the buildbot should automatically install it,
but maybe that is a bit brittle.
What about uploading a version of maemo-optify to all buildbots, and
only the one in Fremantle does any actual optification?
Or we could do something more general ala the type-handling package in
Debian. We could have a package that Provides virtual packages like
"fremantle", "not+fremantle", "diablo", "not+diablo" as appropriate for
the distribution it is in, and then packages can have Build-Depends like
Build-Depends: maemo-optify | not+fremantle
Might be overkill, dunno.
