After some hard work, here it is guys!
How to install:
in open mode run as root (assuming you've put the deb file in MyDocs):
(reboot after installtion)Code:cd /home/user/MyDocs AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN=com.nokia.maemo dpkg -i devicelock_0.8.5+0m7_armel.deb
Enjoy your lockable device!
It look like many people asked you for source code (seem legit since we touch to security of the device here).
Reading all this thread, I don't see any answer from you.
Can you answer if you are able to get the source code of modifications or not ?
Regards,
A++

The truth is: I've got it from some forest cat... deeeeep deep inside the woods....
But the package is trustable if that concerns you

- You more or less have to trust a security package if it comes from the original manufacturer. (means it is signed by Nokia)
Even in this case it just depends if you trust the manufacturer, as quite a few people don't... - You can almost certainly trust a package if the source code is available and you can compile it yourself.
Even in this case it is possible you have a breach, for example your compiler toolchain may be compromised...
When an important security related package comes "from some forest cat... deeeeep deep inside the woods" it most certainly cannot be trusted.
There are a high number of possibilities to go wrong;
- the package might be compromised
- the software might have exploitable bugs
- the package might be incompatible with some firmware or installed software
