Wow! Debian gets FreeBSD kernel support. Yes, the new architectures are called kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64 aka GNU/kFreeBSD i386 and amd64.

According to the Debian february newsletter Lenny seems to be ready for release on the 14th of February during the weekend.

FYI, Lenny is the character from Toy Story that is a pair of binoculars with feet.
