As I understand it, to call yourself MeeGo, you have to have all the

Nothing is stopping someone from re-packaging all the MeeGo components
using deb, but you wouldn't be able to call it MeeGo.

And yet Nokia has made it pretty clear they're dropping the Maemo branding immediately but still using DEB in their next release. This is part of my confusion.

Hrmm. But I'm glad it's clear MeeGo as a core won't have multiple packaging systems. Cheers, -Ali
