However, they're not binary (ABI) compatible. OpenZaurus uses a softfloat enabled toolchain while familiar doesn't to stay compatible with Debian/ARM. You can't mix apps or libraries from familiar and OpenZaurus (well, you can try, but things will likely be unstable).
Can Debian/ARM Packages be combined with Familiar then? Or does that also break things?
No, that should be fine. The reason why familiar hasn't gone softfloat yet is compatibility with Debian/ARM.
The only inconvenience might be that not all package names/versions will match. So, you may need to resolve certain dependencies manually.
But the binaries/libraries as such should work.
