I will try again, but: what programs exactly need to be installed for the phone to work? Will everything work if I just leave it on defaults?
Short answer: Nemo kernel is the default one right now because I can't fully automate installation of the patched kernel compiled by unknown.obvious yet.
It will continue if you just exit from this shell. But you need to fix dpkg state for the script to continue if the converted deb had broken it. That's the purpose of dropping to shell, actually. I'll add a message, thanks for reporting. Also, I'll change the default kernel option.

To get GSM working you need ofono, but I didn't test it myself. If you are lucky, empathy + telepathy-ring will work with it. Actually, we need someone to test it on 12.04
