I guess this would also be something for CSSU (I already suggested in the CSSU thread that they could have a look at unnecessary dependencies). Unfortunately it may not be such a relevant topic (e.g. vs portrait support..) for the general public (which seems to have been the target for Nokia *and* for CSSU. We have to start assuming that only geeks, and an ever-decreasing number at that, actually own and use a N900).

Add.: Hmm.. maybe it's time for Maemo5 - Hacker edition
