That's different. Suppose you want to keep the standard FreeBSD for hosting applications
and provide users/chroots a Debian based system (whatever the reason is).
linux_base-debian provides such thing but _emulated_. The packages you install are
the GNU/Linux i386 ones, not packages build on/for a kFreeBSD system.

kfreebsd_base-debian is a nice idea. I see it as another way to distribute the
GNU/kFreeBSD before everybody trust it 100% or at least until GNU/kFreeBSD has its
install system...

Hmm, I don't know if the linux emulation as much overhead on FreeBSD.

What is color coordination? Who are the target users?
