Afaik Raspbian was and still is a community project unrelated to the The
Foundation itself. Rasbian was needed because Debian armel couldn't
benefit from the floating point hardware of the RPi.
but very importantly it contains all the libraries and sample code, the
broadcom code with community additions, to make use of the hardware in a
GNU/linux context... which I happen to be immersed in this week.
Please let me/us know about you're progress.
