If someone steps up to apply *and maintain* OpenWRT or other patchsets
against linux-2.6 Debian package. I do not see objection to support
that package in Emdebian and have packages available at Emdebian
repositories. Trying to minimize the work, we could focus on long term
and embedded suitable tagged kernels.
The above would imply to add support into flash-kernel as well for
infield upgrades.
Cheers,
