Thanks Nick for the hints - I haven't played around with this sort of
thing before (well, packaging yes, dealing with interesting
architectures no). The target is the Pi 1 model B, so I think - based
what I can glean from Debian's wiki[1] - that my best bet is Debian
Wheezy for armel.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that, too :^)
