opkg was replaced by ipkg, have an ipkg package for tahoe (then it can be probably be constructed for multiple "archs" for various NAS boxes.

​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipkg

OpenMoko? also uses a similar packaging... that could be an interesting thing to have : a tahoe client (no storage) for the openmoko.

For example on the QNAP NAS 109S (a client for debian seems to be working), when debian is not installed over the out-of-the-box linux, the source for ipkg is : ​http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q1armel/cross/unstable/

If I understand correctly, ipkg and opkg are just implementations of a debian-compatible package manager. So all we need is a stripped-down .deb of Tahoe that removes unnecessary files (maybe it should only include .pyc files?)

For what it is worth, I prefer to include only .py files and not .pyc files. .py files compress better, for one thing...
