It's not quite the ideal "apt-get install kodi" one-liner, though.
In fact, installing XBian on Raspbian seems more complicated than the steps required to install XBMC/Kodi on Raspbian (link in post #5).
I've nothing against XBian, but shouldn't it be so much easier for users to get Kodi running on Raspbian?

One of our developers said he is going to create a meta package to make it one liner simple. Or as close to one line as possible.
I will link here when I have more information about it.

no, mk-debian-package - or rather debuild for that matter - builds from source. And its not made to work with unified depends either.

Standard debian build scripts are simply not designed for that.
You can use dpkg-deb to pack a binary tree together if you manually create a suitable DEBIAN/control file and take care to ship all needed dependencies in it. debuild uses that as well as one of a multitude of steps.

How likely is mk-debian-package to run natively on the Pi? (assuming we are happy with it taking hours).

we'd need to provide pi specific debian packaging files, then it should work, but it will take _really_ long. Imho its not really feasible to compile on the pi.
