Neither Maemo nor Ubuntu exactly are Debian but they are based on it and are therefore
much more similar to each other than to Fedora or other rpm based distributions.
If you want to talk about packaging formats, please start a new thread (I'm indifferrent about deb vs. rpm).

It is not a 'no-compromise GPL-compatible license and OSS system baseline' (though, neither is Debian).

We're talking about the packaging format. Deb and RPM are equivalent.
