Ok i understand and i agree with everything you say. 
But my problem is currently that because we are in a transition phase to that 
next usage model, it is painful for me to port OSCAR on Debian. So if you 
guys do not mind, i would like to continue to include into OSCAR small 
mechanisms such as OPKG exclusion based on the distro of the headnode 
(mechanism only used by Debian today). That allows me to say for 
example "Sorry the Debian support is not complete enough to support yume". 
These new mechanisms should not break anything since they are orthogonal to 
existing OSCAR mechanisms.

Of course, when things will be more "stable", these mechanisms can be removed.

Thanks,
