No, please.

The only reason I implemented the ZHONE choice is because of the very
same nature of Zhone, mostly its dependencies, which are a de facto
nightmare to maintain.  Matchbox and openmoko-panel-plugin works
flawlessly and they do not have dependency problem.  Moreover, AFAIK
they are the default choice for Debian on Openmoko for some of the
pkg-fso members, which means that as soon as there is a problem, it is
promptly spotted (and hopefully fixed).

As I have already said in the past, adding more and more options to
install.sh (which is IMHO already too complex) is not worth the effort.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
