I'm not convinced this would benefit to many users and would compensate added complexity. Lets say that this is low priority and I would accept patches adding this functionality :-)

Well, I guess it sounds like a big hassle. My main goal is to make it easier for 'know nothings' to boot from mmc. This is the biggest obstacle to many who want to run KDE. Turning kde into a deb makes no sense, when they still have to setup boot from mmc manually.
