Unsure.  They live in osso-af-startup in maemo, which is on the list
of things to ignore for now.  We might want to bring that in now;
Adilson?

Yes, it ships a pre-built chroot which is built as part of the package
build process.   I was also thinking about doing something like the
livefs images.

project-builder doesn't know how to create them.  I am not entirely
sure what the problem is, since it should just be grabbing the
initramfs from the bootstrapped image.

| Is there initial packaging for this already, or is that pending?

Pending any code, I believe this should be mostly a copy of the
already existing theme packages and starting to package anything
before we know the shape of it is hard.

| 
| Indeed.  I outlined earlier on the list what I thought were the
| steps in order to get this done; do you agree with them?  Are there
| any other blockers I should be aware of?

Yes, I believe those steps are enough and I am not aware of any more
blockers.

Agreed.  I also rescued the mobile keyboard specification (which
ubuntu-mobile wasn't subscribed to, so it escaped me).   This needs
writing up; I'll follow up on that.
