That's about my experience too. I've had a quick prod and got as far as realising that it's not trivial. On the other hand I understand that things are better packaged and documented than they were a few years back when I last looked. Getting something like rbuilder working is relatively straighforward but that's not the same as all the wanna-build stuff. I was assuming that emdebian acquiring some autobuilder expertise is pretty-much anavoidable. At some point we can fold back into Debian, but until then we are going to have some infrastructure of our own to experiment on. I waiting for a suitable box and some time to play with it to have a go at this, but I've got diverted into making debian-installer work for arm before it's too late...
