Not really - who will get this money, and who will decide, and who will
contribute what might end up being significant amounts to what might
seem a blue sky project?
No, EmDebian needs to be sold on its on merits to companies, either
directly interested in what it can do for them, or developed as a
consequence of solutions companies are after which EmDebian happens to
be appropriate for. Indeed, there is already one project with a large
company in which this is the case, and is likely to have some benefits
for EmDebian.
I think Wookey might care to comment further on these points.
