Okay, I've gotta take a break from this, but here's what I've gotten so far if someone else wants to take a crack at it:

There's source for python-wxgtk2.8 here: Debian python-wxgtk
I can't get this package to build and compile correctly :/ not sure what I'm doing wrong. It also requires freeglut3.0 which is a potential problem :/ since that won't compile either.

Like I said pyserial is no issue installs cleanly,

Source is available for APSW here: Debian APSW
APSW looks like it'll build if I can find the sqlite3.h header, I haven't tried that yet.

If I or someone can get those three packages to compile then running bitpim is just a matter of downloading the /src and running "python bp.py"

But, like I said, all of these packages already exist in armel form, can someone try bitpim out under debian armel and let us know if it works? Thanks
