Does any one know how to extract and repack nokia official Firmware?

flasher-3.5 -F fiasco.bin -u to unpack
Use fiasco-gen to repack (fiasco-gen --help for commands)

A custom one without nokia bloatware would be nice.

No more "get started" widgets and useless shortcuts and bookmarks...

Hmm, tbh, it would be easier to flash a device with stock firmware, do all customizations then backup the rootfs with dd and distribute that image.

How would you get image back onto the machine - using dd again, or can you use the flasher?

As for cooked FW, those are usually made for systems where most files reside on ROM, like Symbian's Z: or HTC devices' ROM chips.
The N900's filesystem is easily editable by anyone, cooked FW would simply be precustomized images.

You can use both dd and flasher to restore the image, also you may find interesting look at application called BackupMenu in Extras Dev.
