I was under the impression that there were more than one hardware dependent
package for the FreeRunner[1], but I was evidently mistaken.  In that case,
indeed fso-config-gta02 will have the same function as the metapackage, and if
more hardware specific packages will show up we're always in time to split a
metapackage out of fso-config-gta02[7].


Ciao,

[1] like, for example, drivers for other bits of the phone, touchscreen
    calibration tools, extra bits of customisation that don't fit elsewhere[2]
[2] for example, things like loading the usbnet modules in /etc/modules[3]
[3] provided that it can be done in a policy-compliant way[4]
[4] like, a freerunner package would need to go and modify a config file
    belonging to another package[5]
[5] however I can't figure out what package is in charge of /etc/modules[6]
[6] at least, dlocate doesn't mention anything.
[7] lots of footnotes make a message hard to follow[8]
[8] don't they? :-P
