Mainstream Linux Alignment

Let's list here bugs and enhancement requests relating to the Maemo architecture and its proximity/compatibility with mainstream linux standards. The progress on these tasks should bring easier life for application developers and also to platform developers willing to close ties with Debian, Ubuntu, etc.

Useful information:

• Maemo Compared to Desktop Linux Distributions
• Essential Packages and Delta to Standard Debian Systems

General upstream level

• Identify all packages that have relevant Nokia changes
• Address upstream packages patched by Nokia

Debian level

• Make busybox and coreutils work perfectly together
  • The above is closed as duplicate of Busybox prevents installing full versions of tools packages (cleanly)

freedesktop.org level

• All .desktop files should go to /usr/share/applications/
• Icon Naming Specification compliance
• Act like a standard task navigator (don't rely on StartupWMClass)
• Application menu should have enough top-level folders to match package sections (relates to freedesktop.org menu specification)
