Ok, I guess users who know what zavai is can install it themselves
and just select None? So the list will be reduced to

- SHR
- Zhone
- None

Maybe somebody is interested in porting Zhone2, which is like Zhone,
but in Vala instead of Python and written for fsogsmd instead of
frameworkd.

I own a N900 with maemo5 (I don't have that much time, but I prepare
FSO support so that I can switch to Debian at some time). The phone
stuff is pretty much closed source, but AFAIK they integrated it
into telepathy, which is used for Jingle & Skype. maemo5 does NOT
use oFono by the way.
