I'm not sure that they are accessible, and even less sure if they should be 
used!  These are _risky_ to run since they may depend on all sorts of things 
a regular Debian system has never seen/will never see.  We are using them 
until we can buils a stable set of standard packages and get a clean Debian 
only system running, then we can create debs which are useful to everyone.  
If you really need these that badly and can't wait a week or two, let me 
know.  Otherwise, I'd _really_ prefer not to let these get outside of our 
few development machines.
