See my site http://www.debwrt.net/ and http://www.debwrt.net/trac/ for more information. The project is about getting Debian to run on many OpenWrt supported devices and provides downloads, but also a set of easy (menuconfig based) build scripts to create kernels for various devices, and root file systems for various architectures (MIPS, MIPSEL, ARM, ...).

French keyboard is included, but that's not the one I need. I think there might be a way to add new keyboards, but I can't find anything :( Basically, the one I need is the swiss french keyboard, that's like a QWERTY keyboard, but with a few changes, like for the accentuated letters. French keyboard has a totally different layout called AZERTY (yeah, French people like to do everything different... lol. I'm French but still, this stupid keyboard is annoying). If you could tell me where the keyboard maps are, I can make one myself (I guess it's not that complicated once you know where to look). Thanks ! Any news on the keyboard ?

I hope someone can help figure out a solution.

I have noticed that every few reboots in my case It will panic due to some other bug related to the usb drivers and it will improperly detect my sd/usb rootfs and panic. I am working on tracking this down.
