Debian spawns BSD lovechild

The maintainers of the Debian Linux distribution have added support for a FreeBSD kernel.

The move seems to be an attempt to offer the BSD kernel within the Debian Linux userland environment. Users who install Debian's FreeBSD kernel will be able to use the BSD packet filter, pf, as well as other BSD-specific security features like jails.
