But as you said it all boils down to the fact that nobody really cares about running full Debian on a phone.

Wrong again.
It's not that nobody cares about running Debian (or full blown, unaltered openoffice.org or whatever) on a smartphone - or mobile computer or tablet or whatever the marketing word du jour may be.
It's that the masses don't care. But there is a relevant number of people who do and who are afraid they're about to lose their favorite platform for doing exactly that. I'm one of them.

capacititve screen would limit Maemo. Imagine running desktop Linux apps without the stylus. The stylus adds capability to run Ubuntu/Debian desktop software. That simple.

But multi-touch is a nice feature, and when the N920 comes out and if it does have a capacitive screen (and OLED I hope) I would assume that it will be much better than the current range of screens.
Guessing about the N900 when the device was a few months away from production is one thing, but guessing about a device that is possibly over a year away is something else....
