Hi, here is an interesting reply I received off-list from Sean (I have not yet looked at it):
Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2016 09:09:39 +0800 Subject: Re: xserver-xorg-video-armada From: Sean Cross <x...@kosagi.com> To: Rainer Dorsch <d...@bokomoko.de> Hi Rainer, There are a few pieces missing, but I have all of them packaged. It Depends on https://github.com/xobs/libetnaviv, which is also packaged. It requires a patch to libdrm that apparently is being upstreamed now, but which I have packaged at https://github.com/xobs/libdrm. Our Debian repo is available at http://repo.novena.io/debian/ with some newer packages up at http://repo.novena.io/xobs-beta/. I try to include source as well as binaries, so "apt-get source" should work. I've built Debian packages, but I've found the actual process of upstreaming to be much too tiring and too time-consuming, so I haven't done that with these packages.

Did you ever build a Debian package? If yes, do you have any plans to upload it to Debian itself?
