Please consider putting it on wiki.debian.org and linking to it from
wiki.debian.org/Embedded_Debian or maybe the Examples page linked from
that page.

If the dependencies match, simply install the package from Grip.

If not, you'll need to use emsource, create debian/xcontrol from
debian/control, use emdebuild --build-dep and emdebuild then work out
why it doesn't cross-build. (Most packages don't cross-build first
time.)

Hmm, more difficult. Check whether you are using "real" mount or
busybox mount (maybe call the mount binary directly using the full
path). 'mount' is available as a package in Crush.

If you want busybox mount to support NFS, it will mean a custom
cross-build of busybox and that is hard right now - the version in
Crush is heavily customised.
