Thank you all for your help, I finally got it working. I had to reformat my SD Card and start over from the beginning. The tar command took much more than 15 minutes, but it finally worked.

One problem remains but it is not related to the dedicated partition: I'm french (yes, being a frog-eater might be a problem ), and the image is set for a Qwerty keyboard in LXDE (no problem when using terminal applications launched with debbie in X-term), which I don't have. How could I change it? In the keyboard layout switcher, there is no Azerty option, the only option is "Nokia".

Thanks again. :]

It hasn't worked so far for me; when I start OO, ez-chroot tells me 'mmcblk1p2 failed to mount on /.debian'
I have successfully mounted it manually (mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p2 /.debian), but I still get the message.
I believe I have set up the partition with the ED filesystem correctly (it was quite a hassle, and I did get an error, but I don't think that is the issue here).
I looked at qmount, it does not seem to support ext4, maybe that is the problem. But that is a bit beyond me to change.

Edit: after upgrading to the latest EasyDebian in extras-devel, and rebooting, it seems to work. I have done my benchmark again, and indeed, it does help;
Fresh boot, stock speed: 1:10min
2nd try 50 secs
3rd 40 secs
4th, O/C@1000MHz: Just under 30 seconds (!)
Could you explain how you converted your partition to ext4 (did you have to erase the data, or the conversion kept it?) and how you finally managed to mount it? If it really improves the performance, we should put it in the wiki (at least for people using the kernel-power).
