Interesting, just by following this thread I found that there are at least 3 people(FTPF not counting) working on rebasing maemo on top of Debian. And the question is obvious, why not cooperate ?

It's a shame that you don't have a spare to work on. I have a number of N900s in various conditions - one has a dead microphone, one is one of those HK refurb/forgeries w/ the missing magnet on a flimsy back cover, one is my currently daily phone (used and abused) which has suffered some wicked drops and has dead USB disease (I've been too lazy to repair it because I just rsync and I have spares to use as battery chargers), and finally another used one from ebay that I'm planning to make my daily driver.
I'm in the middle of a apartment move (which is incidentally good for taking account of where everything I own is), so it may take a short while, but I have a N900 surplus and I'd like to fix your N900 deficit.
PM me so I have a reminder.

It should be quite feasible, I just haven't really spent any time on it yet.

Let's see what Jörg say re. a N900 for you. If it doesn't work out I'll gladly send some money your way.

My approach was
* get rid everything Nokia messed
* merge to Debian everything Nokia did well
I never got (any) gles-driver working with kernel 3.X. Lately I have been busy with other things.

this is the kernel on https://gitorious.org/linux-n900/fre...9718ae78a33c8: (the "upstream", not my clone, should work as well)

Did you try to merge Fremantle's UI? I think that's something Nokia did very well.
I remember the hildon package in Squeeze being a fubar version of Chinook or Diablo and Debian's matchbox being mostly unuseable.

I got Hildon-desktop (cordia patched) compiled and running top of Jessie running on N900:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=82
Thus seems I haven't posted step-by-step instructions or links to the sources.
The packages I'm using avoid some of the closed source components but at what cost I'm yet to fully determine. I could have gone Cordia route and just put interface on top of Mer/Nemo but I prefer dpkg over rpm for packaging.
At the moment it's just a personal project for me, until I can ascertain what is needed to take it further. If there is anything that is beneficial to FPTF then I'm more than happy to lend a hand if available.
