Could you point out specific problems? As far as I can tell the problems 
being discussed above are caused by someone loading Debian on an SD card 
themselves...  I can guarantee you, none of these problems exist on our 
default shipping SD cards... All of our default shipping images are 
available on our FTP site, they are updated every Sunday night.

ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/images/

I did see one issue pointed out that will be corrected. That is the ts11 
modules tarball does not have the most recent shipping SD card driver...

If you have an ethical problem with a proprietary bus, then I would take 
a stand and not use that bus. Use USB flash drives, CF cards... Or you 
could commission Technologic Systems to rewrite the SD core so it would 
work with existing open source SD drivers.

This is the directory you want ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/images/debian/
Please see the README in the images directory 
ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/images/README.
