Yes, you're right - and since the subjects are often not exactly the
same, it's hard to know whether a name change or a page merge is more
appropriate. The only thing which is easy to know is that it's no good
for the reader to have several options like this.

I would prefer just merging both Customizing articles to "Customizing
Maemo" and having a separate section for some of the power use hacks.

Cheers,
