There is a new Debian port for ARM, which we have named 'armhf', you
can get it from debian-ports.org. There is an armhf omap kernel which
should have pure mainline RX-51 (N900) enabled. You might need extra
fiddling as there are still few parts missing to be a well supported
platform in Debian (debian-installer, flash-kernel, ..).
Regarding Maemo packages, those might need to be rebuilt against
current Debian armhf sid, so best would be to port any package you
might want to Debian from Maemo.
Best regards,
