There was some discussion of whether to base the port on debian or ubuntu,
with debian being the "easy" way.
It is meant to show that, from a software compatibility point of view, a
mainly ubuntu port is at least feasible, thereby preventing a big difference
between x86 and mips versions of gNewSense.
So all in all it's a proof of concept for an approach of the
port; a possible implementation of gNewSense on mips.

Andreas
