So its status is still officially "a technology preview"?

Debian pushes development of kFreeBSD port

October 7th, 2009

The Debian Release Team is pleased to announce that it sees the port of the 
Debian system to the FreeBSD kernel fit to be handled equal with the other 
release ports. The upcoming release codenamed 'Squeeze' is planned to be the 
first Debian distribution to be released with Linux and FreeBSD kernels.

The kFreeBSD architectures for the AMD64/Intel EM64T and i386 processor 
architectures are now release architectures. Severe bugs on these architectures 
will be considered release critical the same way as bugs on other architectures 
like armel or i386 are. If a particular package does not build or work properly 
on such an architecture this problem is considered release-critical.

Debian's main motivation for the inclusion of the FreeBSD kernel into the 
official release process is the opportunity to offer to its users a broader 
choice of kernels and also include a kernel that provides features such as 
jails, the OpenBSD Packet Filter and support for NDIS drivers in the mainline 
kernel with full support.
