I think there is some confusion here between the naming of the libzbar0 deb
file and the use of Maemo4/Maemo5 to indicate Diablo/Fremantle (i.e. the
release version of the whole system software flash image).

In this case the libzbar0 files are present in the Fremantle extras-devel repo,
which immediately indicates that they are not for Diablo:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/z/zbar/

The naming strategy of adding a maemoX to the end of the standard package name
(e.g. libzbar0_0.10-maemo4_armel.deb) indicates that some Maemo-specific
patches were required to build the original (0.10 version) source for this
platform, not that this package is for a specific release of the overall Maemo
software flash image. maemo5 simply indicates that this is the 5th revision of
those Maemo specific patches.

HTH, if this is some other issue then please re-open and add some more
comments.

Cheers! :)

maemo4 of course not maemo5 as the appended version for the deb file. Need more
coffee ;)
