I'm happy to do this now for anyone that wants it. I'll build and
install a debian box to order and supply the onsite reboot/emergency
diagnostics required.

I'm not a debian developer but I have high-availability operational
experience with internet services
<URL:http://www.campin.net/resume.html>. I have a full-time job right
now but I can still easily work in the emergency availability
arrangement as discussed here.

This borders on advertising I suppose, so contact me off-list if you
want to work something out. I can get as much rackspace as required on
short notice at a local colo with three t3 connections.

Not the most bandwidth ever, but more than enough for 99% of people.
