If the user only has Extras enabled, they can still get the PR1.1 app
which is in Extras. However, if they have -devel enabled (and it has a
newer version), HAM will only show the newest version.
If the developer then promotes the -devel version to -testing, the
testers will only be able to install it on a PR1.2 device. So if there
are any promotions to -testing now, we will have a mixed PR1.1 and
PR1.2 queue.
However, if promoted from -testing to Extras proper, the package will
go into a *different* Extras ("fremantle-1.2"). Extras is separate,
-testing and -devel are not.
Cheers,
Andrew
