After going to

  http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/download/host/dists

I see three distros there:

  ubuntu-gutsy
  ubuntu-hardy
  experimental

The install page also says

  This ALPHA-2.5 version of Maemo SDK+ has been tested on Ubuntu Gutsy
  and Hardy running on 32bit i386 architecture. It is recommended to use
  Ubunty Gutsy/Hardy Server but maemo SDK+ should work also with Debian
  unstable and testing.

Is anyone from the maemo-sdk garage project reading this list?  Anyway,
they have their own list, and forums, and a bug tracker, so you may want
to raise the question about Debian support there.
