Re: Canola and OGG support
So have your source package contain the tarballs for base, good and bad, and just compile the parts you need? If Debian's packaging system does not allow for multiple tarballs (still? RPM handles...

Re: Canola and OGG support
I'm rather curious: why can't the gstreamer vorbisidec plugin be built against Nokia's stock gstreamer-base? Considering the binary package does not need the rest of the modified gstreamer stack?

Re: Vala for Maemo development
Check out Genie (http://live.gnome.org/Genie). It's an alternate front-end language to Vala, compiled using the same compiler, with a Python-esque syntax.
