Probably right about etch.

I think (IMHO) TS is looking harder at 2.6. TS POV, completely
understandable, is that there is no motivation for moving _existing_
boards to 2.6. But OTOH, _new_ boards may be different (see last line):

+1. You have to dig around for the 2.6 info, but it's there. If you
have trouble, write back.
If you're eager for debian development images, check out the eabi
development stuff: http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort (This will be
the etch+1 release) Also:

improvement, would be even greater using maverick crunch ....)
