Now if they could just figure out package management, instead of this lovely "upgrade by unzipping a new filesystem on top of the old one" system... (Obviously this is far from trivial technically, since android doesn't come divided up into separately developed packages, but it would still be a huge improvement.)

Not directly in line with this but Magnus Back (Sony-Ericsson) gave a very good talk at the Android Builders Summit on how they've been using Debian packages to put together phones for all their customers (carriers) without having to rebuild everything from scratch for every single phone variant:
