To add one which, while not strictly Debian still merits mention, see
Fairphone, which started from the "ethic sourcing of materials" POV,
but is listening to software freedom concerns.
They offer an official path to rooting, and -- who knows? -- might be
talked into supporting efforts to port whateve non-Android to their
hardware.
I find them interesting because their approach is somewhat complementary
to OpenMoko's.
To all folks out there saying "OpenMoko failed": yes, and no. OpenMoko's
people are "out there". The experience has made us richer. Some other
approach might succeed (and will only because it carries some of OM's
genes).
It's all but one giant genetic annealing simulation :)
