I ended up reverting back to using my TOHOLED and my TOHKBD is gathering dust. I was considering selling it but seeing how many are on offer for months with little interest, I gave up.

Basically this can be avoided by just shipping the device without GUI at all, everybody can then build the GUI they need and want.
I would prefer "install from repository" to "build". That of course implies that one can use standard repositories and avoid the blunder all mobiles make, including Jolla - trying to lock the user in with their own proprietary "app store".
