The url is very creative: http://www.emdebian.org/ :-) emdebian, AFAIK, does * provide cross-compilation * reduces package size by removing documentation * changes some compile options to further reduce package size The last point makes it, in corner cases, problematic to mix with the official archive. Also, emdebian does not cover all of the archive yet. At the moment, emdebian does not support python, because python seems to be hard to cross-compile, therefore we base our system for FreeRunner on the official Debian for now. Eventually, when emdebian can run all the apps that we need (well, python should be the only problem), it will also be able to run the FreeRunner specific package, which by then are in the official archive. I’m sure someone, maybe us, maybe the emdebian guys will provide an installer or image based on emdebian. This will give users the choice between the two. I hope that clarifies some points.
