And using > only http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian/ is not much of use - as I was referring to that repo. Mostly because it's not crowded with too many applications in an "undefined" state. Please don't misunderstand me. I also feel that SHR is the way we'll all be going sooner or later. I love Debian but I use Kubuntu as it provides much more functionality in a much easier to use way. But I'm a developer myself and as such had my share of experience on how long it takes from the first enthusiastic steps until a piece of software runs reliably enough for the people you aim (too) with this. Not to mention our overall experience with stuff from and for OpenMoko. ;-)
