Maemo SDK needs too much computation power. I only have a somehow low-end notebook, not a powerful desktop-pc/workstation.

I had it installed once but it was damn slow (as it is running in qemu or so) - using it is painful for me (booting up and starting a program took so long, that I did not want to really try anything).

Hm, maybe the non-vmware-maemo-sdk will do it... but sadly this is just a workaround and no answer to my original question. And I also was not able to figure out how a .changes file should look like (some google better than others ).
