This would run ON TOP of Maemo, not instead of it.
Putting it under Alternatives makes NO sense. Maybe in one of the software forums...

Moved to Alternatives... I think it works here too (not to be argumentative).

Just like my Easy Debian, some users would want to only run one or two Android/Dalvik apps from within Maemo, but many more would want to shut down the Maemo desktop entirely and use the Android desktop instead.

(I'm not trying to just be argumentative, it really does strike me as an odd organizational decision, but I do accept that it has been done)

That depends, can a gameboy emulator replace all of maemo?
Anyways, got to say that this is a interesting development, if it pans out. But it would really surprise me if one gains access to the app store...

The first Android port used a chroot to get it working, which is somewhat similar to the technique used here. Later ports have used a new kernel entirely. Does Dalvik need features in the newer kernels to work properly? If not, then this could really be a good idea.

I agree that it could be a good thing: the best of both worlds, if it works out (Android's apps and strong Google integration, Maemo's full Linux environment and Maemo apps).
