I'm sorry to break it to you, but the Debian GNU/win32 system is
not available yet, and won't be for some time.

The following things need to happen still:

1-we finish building a Debian base system on cygwin
2-the port is accepted officially in Debian.
3-we build the complete archive for Sid and create install/uninstallation
method
4-the port is accepted as a valid candidate for Debian release (and
packages start to feed testing)
5-the port is released (and a stable release appears)

If you don't care of being in the bleeding edge, step 1 would
be enough for you to build your own packages as long as they
don't have lots of broken dependencies.

When you need to have a more complete system to build your
stuff, step 2 is necessary. Also some help would be appreciated.

Regards,
