I don't know whether the project became Mer, EasyDebian or died.

some other ideas for a name: DebiaN900, Debian900 or Debian/900
Long story short: We tried to take Debian, shape it into mobile usage without tearing apart the base system. Result: Deblet, Horrid battery usage, horrid user interface and incompatibility with Maemo GTK+/Hildon applications.

We decided Maemo had a reason to be like it was, and then Mer was born.
