This happens both with the debootstrap package from launchpad jaunty and the jaunty file posted in the first post in Maemo. Both Deblet and Ubuntu debootstrap this just fine.

Any ideas why Maemo would be choking like this?

I was wondering how did you fix this. I have binutils 2.16 version from chinook repos, is this the problem? I'm not able to get 2.18 version, it seems it disappeared from Elkins repo...

Thanks a lot in advance!

You can ignore it, or serch for some package with key inside its name (i don't remember the exact name) which provides the key signatures of the repository.
the previous error you get came from some dependencies problem, did you follow exactly the instructions in post #1 and #2, editing etc/apt/preferences too?

I'm switching to a different basse system setup so it is easier for people Ubuntu (sys-env system) - wich is probibly why some of the stuff in the ubuntu-n8x0 repo have been broken.

Also, i'm sorry i haven't been verry active lately - this has been a verry busy time for me
