Comment:

 gNewSense seems to be based on Ubuntu. Which version of it? What are the
 differences that matter to us (i.e. package names and versions, see
 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-
 jhbuild/repos/mainline/trees/master/config/sysdeps config/sysdeps] for
 details)?
 If it's similar enough to either an already supported Ubuntu version or
 Debian squeeze, we can just add a symlink. Otherwise we need someone
 maintaining the corresponding sysdeps files as it gets hard for me to
 support all of them.
