Besides, if we contain all checks in one place (per platform at least) it will be easy to add more checks later.

If CIQ will be sued into oblivion, there will be others. Propably allready are.
We need a way to keep an eye on them.

What was that apt command to show all fs differences from original installed .deb?
Yup, but what I meant is that "all N900 are created equal" (besides minor differences in regional firmware), and the firmware doesn't contain any IQ related stuff.

The chances that CarrierIQ is present, in some camouflaged form, in extras-devel are close to 0% (hey, I'm sure we got stuff worse than carrierIQ in there! , so we can reasonably assume that CarrierIQ doesn't exist on the N900 (besides, why would such a company "support" Maemo?).

But yeah, if you want to write a script for that, be my guest.
