That's quite modest of you - now we (emdebian) have a a working
emdebian roofts, which will hopefully attract more developers,
as there is something to actually play with.

You didn't have patches for these modifications? is there other changes
than just adding emdebian tools? Ie is Philippes emdebian devkit usable
with these?

This needs a automatic build-dependency sorting tool, which takes in
account a) tools provided by sbox b) arch:all deb packages, that can
be ignored. This is something I've wanted to do for a while from now,
but didn't have time to get it finished yet..

This is the same as above or..? using Debian's official buildd
architecture here might be a bit too heavyweight.

Or modify debootstrap/cdebootstrap more usable for creating emdebian
rootimages. With the chroot wrapper in sbox 1.0.2 it is possible
debootstrap sarge atleast. However, it's a lot slower than the
current "unpack all, configure and fire" approach of make_rootimage

This the question that needs most thinking. To become accepted part
of debian instead of prodigy fork, emdebian should be buildable
from debian source packages available from ftp.debian.org. However,
it might be that many debian developers who don't do embedded
development, might not be very accepting of the idea of a
separate emdebian/ dir in their packages.

linda is probably easier to extend.
