which exactly packages you are thinking of? As my understanding is that besides telephony stack (which has ofono as FOSS replacement) and mce (which we can RE if needed) most of the other stuff could be either replaced or simply ignored.

As I see it, the biggest problem with moving Maemo forward is the lack of HW replacing n900, not the SW side of the things(from Maemo POV). Ofc one must not forget that this imaginary HW should have SW/drivers/bootloader open enough to be replaced by another OS.
