mobian-tweaks is a place for customizations we wouldn't want in Debian, either because they're controversial, or because they're too specific. It depends on mobile-tweaks-common, so you could think of it as "advanced customization". It includes some of the tweaks we dropped from mobile-tweaks (ModemManager polkit override, .desktop files diversions) as they were not a proper solution for Debian, and other ones as well (e.g. USB gadget auto-configuration with networking and MTP) which I believe would be too intrusive/sensitive for mobile-tweaks. Same goes with meta-mobian: it builds on top on meta-phosh, but is "designed" as a distribution (including low-level system services and components), having multiple options for the DE; for now it's phosh only, but we plan to offer a plasma-mobile and a lomiri flavor at some point, and the corresponding metapackages will be part of meta-mobian too. In the end, mobian-tweaks/meta-mobian are just another layer on top of mobile-tweaks/meta-phosh, and there should be no overlap: mobian packages will track changes in mobile-tweaks/meta-phosh and adapt to those. Having those packages in Debian is a step towards making Mobian a "Debian Pure Blend", and won't conflict with either of the existing packages as it's designed as a separate layer on top of what we already have.
