+10 Glenn, we need a pair of new lists, but I'd name the new debian list debian-arm-user, and if it really worked, raspbian might become the media mecca it wants to be, leaving those of us who want to do real but non-media work using debian on arm hardware, to wag that dog. I don't think having raspbian in the list name would do anything but dilute it as you alluded to already. There is lots of other arm based hardware being peddled besides the r-pi's, and which are sorely lacking in non-media support. A real list, supporting debian linux on some of these other platforms, could rake in 1000's of new debian arm users rather quickly.
