We are mostly trying to create a better package system for FreeBSD in
combination with the other good aspects of Debian. If I seem to recall
the discussion at the beginn correctly.

Well, I think we should leave the BSD libraries where they are and use
them instead of porting linux libraries to BSD. Why should we do that?

Why not? The base system of FreeBSD is in my opinion very nice and the
concept with either installing binaries oder building everything from
the source is great (espacially make world). So I think we should try to
kepp such aspects.
