While Linus is an interesting guy ...

It's as simple as picking the profile you compile to.  To run the system 
you need a runtime that implements that profile.  There are current 
packages available (and a really nice GUI if that's something you like 
in Monodevelop) for all the major distros. Including (gasp) Debian.

So for this project pick a profile. People compile it based on that 
using a set of packages of their choice.  You're not supplying a binary 
distribution anyway, it's an alpha projects, yada yada.  If someone is 
actually running a grid and supporting "customers" on it then its their 
responsibility to acquire (hire) the skills it takes to run the 
environment.

Pretty sure Linus would agree with that.   .NET actually does take ABI 
compatability seriously. That's what the profiles are an attempt at.
