I don't think you should have easy-deb-chroot depend on power kernel, but a recommendation on the package page might be useful.

However, 1h20min is really too long. How much of it was for file download and how much for unpacking? Last time I did the extraction on the device (and not on a Linux PC with subsequent transferral by USB) it took only
Code:
Nokia-N900-42-11:/home/user/MyDocs/core-dumps# time lzma -d debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2.lzma

real    7m 32.66s
user    3m 34.14s
sys     0m 35.03s
That was with image v3d, vanilla kernel in PR1.2, and everything put in the directory MyDocs/core-dumps, to avoid issues with trackerd.
Also I had no other activity during the extraction except for being idly on-line.
