I tried the patch, but the repositories remained the same, (i was
gettinng stuck in the "middle", with succesful scratchbox install but
broken maemo sdk).
I recovered successfully giving to the maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh script
an alternate sources.list by means of the -a flag.
In the alternate  sources.list file it is sufficient to replace the
word "repository" with whatever you want in order to avoid the Akamai
cache[1].
By the way, manual install of sdk as described in [2] is another
viable option; sources.list manipulation is of course required anyway.

Hope it's useful for someone.

Bye,
Roberto
