NB! This kind of testing is something more of us can help with - it does 
*not* require being a Debian Developer, only involves *installing Debian 
packages.

Great that this is moving forward again since 2011:

Yes.  Suggestions for alternatives (preferrably as lightweight) are 
quite welcome.

You need not even install packages for that, only involves editing the 
wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/LeavingTheCloud - and to be 
really nice additionally filing a bugreport as hinted at the bottom of 
that page.
