Have you followed this page? http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/4.0/INSTALL.txt

It is the canonical reference for installing Scratchbox for maemo 4.0

Chapter 3 of the Maemo Diablo (v4.1) reference contains detailed
instructions for installing Scratchbox & getting started.

I'm not sure what you mean by this - what is the Nokia package doing

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that. The Scratchbox website
suggests it's simply an evolution of Scratchbox 1.

Cheers,
