emdebian is trying to get the crud out of the default gpp debian packages and provide a nice packet way to compose an embedded system. I am currently considering this to replace the MVL solution we have now; especially since they seem to be 'open' (not free, that's not the most important issue here) on the surface. I haven't had the time to really investigate the option though, nor have I found decent documentation for e.g. ppc_82xx builds. http://www.emdebian.org/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
