Hi,

I think the aim should be to have a a Freerunner kernel in Debian, which
comes as close as possible to the mainline kernel. It should conain
everything that is needed to boot (obviously :D) and those things,
which can not be compiled as module. These should also be proposed for
mainline inclusion :)

The modules, which are not included in the mainline kernel (e.g. WLAN)
should not be included, but put into a openmoko-modules package for
module-assistant.
