I object, on principle, to spend time doing specific changes to our
packages for a platform for which only exist proprietary drivers. We
have better things to do than serving as a supermarket on which to base
proprietary operating systems.

It looks to me that these entire platforms are a joke.

Is there existing, real hardware on which the Debian armel/armhf ports
can work out of the box? With a stock kernel? And no additional drivers
outside of Debian for basic functionality?
