There is no way any package I make will ever be allowed into any official repository, because of its dependencies on such things. It may not even be allowed into semi-official repositories such as apps.formeego.org, but I haven't researched this enough.

It seems pretty clear to me that Easy Debian is not just ignored by Nokia as it was in the past, it is discouraged. And that is pretty discouraging. I could probably put together a package over a weekend, but getting it published will be very difficult. And if I get it published, then I'm in for a world of pain when it comes to supporting the package, because so many things can go horribly, horribly wrong and that just doesn't sound like much fun.
You know that you can disable that warranty message.
By the way, I dont care if you host is somewhere else. I really loved EasyDebian on my N900 and I really want this for harmattan as well. That is what this OS is about, right? Hacking into the OS, I dont care if Nokia doesn't like to hack our devices

Please dont stop supporting this awesomenes for harmattan
