Hm, I think the tanglu.org project has implemented a buld system like
this (syncs packages from debian sources). Seems to be a real time
saver.

One idea for the Tanglu distribution (a rebuild as close as possible
to debian) is also to to support the distribution of packages before
they become available in debian releases. You should get in touch with
them, as they have already implemented such an infrastructure.

Right, actually the tanglu build system may also easily be the first
distribution to provide qtmoko packages and repositories. It may just
need some configuration pointing to the sources.
