Tried this; didn't work.  There's no sources.list line for Debian, 
Looking at the web site with the distros, I found that http://maemo-
sdk.garage.maemo.org/download/host in its dests directory had entries for 
experimental, ubuntu-gutsy, and ubuntu-hardy so I used

deb http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/download/host experimental free

But in response to the apt-get, all I got was:

lovesong:/farhome/hendrik# apt-get install maemo-sdk
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package maemo-sdk
lovesong:/farhome/hendrik#

Now there were packages there; in particular, there was an available 
upgrade of sbrsh from 7,6 to 7,6maemo1, but no maemo-sdk.  Of course 
aptitude warns me that sbrsh is fron an untrusted source, but that's 
probably irrelevant.  Debian also provides a scratchbox2 and sbrsh.

It seems that they just forgot the Debian build.

I went to the tracker, but there seems to be no way to submit a bug 
report to it.
