So, consider yourself informed! Details are at http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2010/09/msg00091.html This is awesome, and a good step to remove a lot of risk. Only problem in shr is the whole lotta stuff that still needs to be fixed (eg, the opim stuff *should* move to $HOME/.config/freesmartphone/opim rather than /etc/freesmartphone/opim ), samething for alsa statefiles, etc...
