Ok, good idea.

In that case we shouldn't name it Debian/BSD but a "port of dpkg and apt to
the *BSD".
I think our target is to create a full Debian distribution, but based on a
different kernel.
As for the general utilities, we can use just the same ones as Debian/Linux does
(unification, again) and provide BSD ones as a separate package (just like BSDs
does with GNU).

That's right!

Great idea -- but I think I should first create a poll and some page with
the quick summary of the current ideas, so we can give the link to them
in the article.

The key point is to create another Debian -- and it should be Debian, after all ;-)
