Errata:

Although the present system makes heavy use of the Hildon application toolkit developed for Maemo tablets, Munk says to expect GTK+ and Qt support as well.

Hildon is based on GTK+, and Qt works as well (see screenshot of Qt-based Shopper).

Mer currently uses its own package repositories for the base system, but the tablet builds should be compatible with standard Maemo .ipkg packages.

The base packages come from the Ubuntu Jaunty ARM port, and - as has been noted in a comment above - Maemo and Mer both use .deb packages.
