That has to be fixed before Debian will support it. I have followed some of the discussions people have had with allwinner in the past, and I am not currently under the impression that they have any interest in doing things correctly. I hope I have just missed smoething where they finally agreed to move to DTB and merging things with the mainline kernel. Until that happens, it doesn't have a chance of getting official support. Also a lot of people (like me) are not that interested in spending any time dealing with a system that isn't handled properly by its maker. > 3.
