mobian-tweaks is a place for customizations we wouldn't want in Debian,
either because they're controversial, or because they're too specific.
It depends on mobile-tweaks-common, so you could think of it as
"advanced customization". It includes some of the tweaks we dropped from
mobile-tweaks (ModemManager polkit override, .desktop files diversions)
as they were not a proper solution for Debian, and other ones as well
(e.g. USB gadget auto-configuration with networking and MTP) which I
believe would be too intrusive/sensitive for mobile-tweaks.
Same goes with meta-mobian: it builds on top on meta-phosh, but is
"designed" as a distribution (including low-level system services and
components), having multiple options for the DE; for now it's phosh
only, but we plan to offer a plasma-mobile and a lomiri flavor at some
point, and the corresponding metapackages will be part of meta-mobian too.
In the end, mobian-tweaks/meta-mobian are just another layer on top of
mobile-tweaks/meta-phosh, and there should be no overlap: mobian
packages will track changes in mobile-tweaks/meta-phosh and adapt to those.
Having those packages in Debian is a step towards making Mobian a
"Debian Pure Blend", and won't conflict with either of the existing
packages as it's designed as a separate layer on top of what we already
have.
Best regards,
Arnaud
