You can also try the debian-squeeze devkit available from scratchbox.org.

Note that this is not (yet) supported by Fremantle SDK and you need to 
create your scratchbox targets by hand instead of the installation 
script, but should be enough to allow you to use debhelper 7.

Additionally, the devkit is a lot smaller, so the number of packages it 
"shadows" is much less. For example, stuff like cdbs is solely left for 
target as they properly should be.
