First I am unable to fully comprehend either of you. Please re-read your posts. I realize I am often guilty of it as well but it is difficult to troubleshoot a problem, when I am not fully clear on where the problem is. Now then, is the problem with ?: (a) the Maemo environment (b) the EasyDebian chroot environment (c) Both Additionally, which version of Maemo do you have (Diablo, Fremantle, Harmatten [joking] )? Which version of EasyDebian? Current version? Any error messages? Any output at all would help. Otherwise, seeya.
