They should *not* have a Garage project, IMHO. For the things you're
mentioning, the only tweaks might only be in the build process or the
packaging.

For this, IMNSHO, I think mud's a better bet:

    http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/

Either way, there is no requirement to have a garage project to upload
to Extras. Extras is provided for everyone, Garage is provided as a
collaboration and tooling resource for those who need it.

HTH,

Andrew
