Errrr.... I thought Harmattan/Maemo6 was based on Meego, so this is a non-issue...
Seems like Nokia's Meego-people are not familiar enough with LSB-standard rpm-system, so Harmattan still after one year doesn't have support of this Meego-requirement.
Yet another example where Linux fragmentation is a real problem and consequences can be huge; like Nokia falling in the hands of Microsoft and major open source supporter is lost, MS won this again. I blame Debian and its stubbornness for not changing from deb to rpm-system. It is just an ego thing with deb-people, because rpm-system is undeniably technically better (transactions, embedded GPG-signatures which follow even if you transfer/install software package via usb-stick, ftp, wget, bluetooth-obex). Debian (and Ubuntu) would make a big appreciated favor to Linux-community by making this deb->rpm-change.

I'm due a phone upgrade in August. If Nokia have launched a viable N900-alike Meego device I will get it. It will need Flash 10.x support and a hardware keyboard. Those are "deal-breakers" if not present.

My N900 is five quarters old now, which in phone years means 125 years old. The N950 is by any standards, too late. In this early adaptors market, a phone generation is 12 months at worst, probably more like 6 months, and many Maemo phone owners would be lusting for a replacement since before christmas 2010. Not going to mention the feelings of Maemo tablet owners.
For me personally it seems I will not be able to wait for it, even if I wanted to. My N900 is not doing so well since it took a bath last week. Lost bluetooth and WiFi.

When I compare my years of fedora use vs similiar period with ubuntu, all I ever got in fedora/rpm was unresolved dependancies when installing packages. So much so I usually just built everything from source. I cannot say the same for Ubuntu, I can't remember the last time I had a dependancy problem with Ubuntu.

And that only happens because the proprietary stuff comes from a third party repository.

What do you think the reason of the debian's choice is then, if not stubbornness? Ignorance? Rebellioness? Secret co-operation with Microsoft to keep Linux fragmented?
