No, the hardware advances in the past few years mean that supporting
the OMAP2-based N8x0s would've constrained the Maemo 5 lead device too
much.
However, Nokia *are* supporting Mer - a community effort to rebuild
Maemo on top of an Ubuntu base:

Nokia's support here has been fantastic, and a testament to how many
people there "get" open source.

Well, since Mer's based on Ubuntu, thousands of packags are only an
apt-get away...
