They just announced it. Debian guys are trying to make something embedded 
for long time (Embedian project) and nearly nothing yet. First let they 
provide informations what they want to reach and how.

I am a bit tired of all those 'big distro starts project for embedded' 
because many times it end in 'it is like normal device but has only 100MB 
of storage'. And then they got hit by devices which lack keyboard or have 
only touchscreen + keypad or no input at all.. or have 8MB flash and 32MB 
RAM..
