Yes, I succeeded in that over a year ago. Visit my site http://www.debwrt.net/
and http://www.debwrt.net/trac/ for more info.
The project includes also a set of scripts (including a menuconfig system) to
build an OpenWrt kernel for a specific device ( not just the RS (PRO) ) and to
create a working Debian root filesystem. And if you need it, it sets up a
cross-compile environment using Emdebian. It currently compiles/creates some
specific cross-compiled Debian packages required to get some things going in
combination with OpenWrt. Note: this is not just limited to MIPS based devices.
There are some ready to-go downloads available for some MIPS based devices. The
RS and RS PRO downloads will be added soon. Sent an e-mail if you need it sooner.
