I have a vaguely usable environment available for download at http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/debian-netbsd/debian-netbsd.tar.gz . It should (just about) be possible to start compiling packages inside there now - I think there's just about a minimal development environment.
Bugs: the dpkg suite produces packages of architecture netbsd-i386, but believes that the system is i386-netbsdelf. This isn't too much of a problem - just use --force-architecture for now. dpkg-architecture seems vaguely unhappy for reasons I haven't worked out yet. Docs (and doc packages) are almost entirely broken due to not having texinfo built yet. Once we've got that far, rebuilding the packages shouldn't be too much of a problem. Todo: Stuff like init, a bootloader, that sort of thing, still need to be done. The libc package needs to be split up. Various other libraries from NetBSD need to be packaged. This shouldn't be too hard. I'll stick the packages themselves somewhere shortly. I've just managed to delete my gcc package source tree (whoops), but in the end I've got it down to a single patch (which I still have) that can be thrown into the debian/patches directory so ought to be able to recover that pretty quickly. I haven't got dejagnu sorted, so testing was switched off for the gcc package build. It seems to work, but no guarantees.
