According to Josh Constine at TechCrunch, Facebook plans a "skin" over Android, not a "fork" as Amazon.com did for its Kindle. By "skinning," rather than "forking," Facebook simply provides a new layer of functionality over the top of Android, without making "custom" modifications to Android.
That probably gives Facebook what it wants--a deeper integration of Facebook on an Android device--without the hassle of a deeper modification of the Android operating system.
