Debian tries to create a Debian/BSD, with a NetBSD kernel and GNU
utilities all around (although it seems that one could use generic NetBSD
tools too). Take a look at the mailing-list archives:

<http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd-0106/threads.html>;
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd-0107/threads.html>;

Although I personally see absolutely no need for a Debian/BSD.
