Obviously I have.

There is now an extra repository tentatively called orchid-x (the "x" makes it 
sound cool)
which is also a gnewsense-mipsel repository but with standard debian layout. It 
holds (or should hold, shortly) 
enough packages to be used to build most of "main" with "sbuild" (smoothing the 
road
for automatic building).

After this is completed anyone *should* be able to to debootstrap it to an empty
partition and boot from it, and rebuilding the archive/repository could start 
for real.

Doing stuff with orchid-x is not intuitive at the moment, so when I'm done 
(I've been
feeling like a gentoo user this past week) I'll update the wiki entry with 
instructions
how to do various things with all the mipsel-y packaged goodness so far.

        friendly,
        Andreas
