Btw, I've been thinking about integrating qtmoko to Debian. Perhaps as a 
Debian Pure Blend, or even building single packages. I didn't go deeper yet, 
but will try to share this ideia during Debconf. Actually, pabs mentioned it 
once to me in some debian irc channel, so strictly speaking it's his idea :) 
Had anyone here thought the same? It wouldn't change the current upstream 
development model, so radek and qtmoko contributors don't need to worry. 
Updating the system would be much easier for users having official Debian 
packages for qtmoko.
