Those options are not mutually exclusive (except option 1 and 2 for point a), but should be seen as different levels of integration: point a being the lowest level, with the most source packages to deal with, and point c being the highest level with only 1 source package. > Personnaly, I would prefer we avoid this split of tweaks settings > between 2 different binary packages (ie: mobian-$device-tweaks and > $device-tweaks).

I agree, having a single package per device would make things easier to manage, the only difficult part could be agreeing on what is a sensible tweak and what isn't. > Also, the 3 options are very much focused on the packaging work, I'd > like to ask: what about the team themselves?
