There is no immediate gain here if you know how to build for on
different maemo sdk's.
Also if you know how to signs the package and upload them to the maemo
reposiroty
I guess. Also once we have the patches into the official tuxpaint
there will be no gain in the mud paching system. I don't really mind I
think you are right in wanting to use the garage tuxpaint project.

Good thinking[tm]

I will try to looks if the freedesktop project keyboard layouts could
be used to display an onscreen keyboard
