Needed debian/ubuntu packages:

aptitude install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

cyanogenmod instructions for Nexus 7
note that fastboot needs to be run as root, otherwise it will just sit there with the < waiting for device > message)
Doing the fastboot oem unlock will whipe the device. Google calls it a 'factory reset', but the android system stays at the version from before the 'factory reset'.
This was the version of [download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-grouper.img clockwork] I installed; md5sum: 6a797003e5afe3227587610b7af5dabb.
Installing su: adb sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip; md5sum db2f8032fd1df99c92d1bfff490a9217.
Then installed BusyBox
Then installed DropBear SSH II
