Have you tried messing with ofono yet?
Also, will try these packages soon:

Do not try to install these packages in chroot unless you know what you are doing. It did prevent my installation from booting into kdm.
But maybe that was just wrong chroot configuration: I didn't mount /dev/pts and /sys.

I am testing calls and ofono at the moment.
I have uboot for booting, sorry, but I'm not using multiboot.
Do you know a way to boot into Nitdroid with the uboot? Than you can use part of these scripts to try Kubuntu. Otherwise you can use another part of these scripts to automate creation of the image bootable by multiboot.

Still, power button works only in some rare cases and after latest updates I can't even get to a single terminal to test ofono.
Now I'm trying to boot into stable 11.04. BTW, do not use the scripts above for 11.04, they are for unstable 11.10 for which I've found at least one way to boot. 11.04 contains the whole disk image, not the single partition.
With 11.04 N900 shuts down after "Starting kernel". And I assume that the problem is in the boot.scr. Maybe, that's the fixed screen resolution, maybe the root:
Will try to modify it.
Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong.

sed does not work for boot.scr because its' header contains crc checksum.
Will use

Ok, I've booted into 11.04.
The idea is to throw away Canonical's boot.scr + partitioning scheme for the BeagleBoard-like devices and use N900s' uboot env to boot with the same method as Meego does: the 1st partition being ext3 root and the 3rd - fat with uImage only.
Finishing the script...

Here is the untested script, I've done it manually and just tried to add instructions to the existing scripts. Let's hope that I didn't miss something.
These still does not contain apachelogger's git cloning, as I do not know if we really need it. Waiting for his advice.
Okay, we do not need the git cloning. The deb package has to make things work. If it does not, please report.
I've added the 11.04 support, please try it and say if it works.
Also, it needs even more space on the disk if you want 11.04. These have to be unpacked and take 2.5Gb each one (kubuntu/ubuntu).
UPDATE:
There is a bug with cp -a commands. Fixing.. Fixed. See the new archive.
UPDATE 2:
Another bug:
Deleting "$".. Done.
UPDATE 3:
New scripts are there.
