It will come some day. I will start by seeing which standard packages are not present anymore in my dev-N900.

[ Note: to make things easier and faster, if ANYONE happens to flash his or her N900 completely, I would appreciate it if the first thing he or she does would be to send me the output of "dpkg -l". I can obviously extract the list of packages from a fiasco image, but the less effort it takes, the better.. ]

Meanwhile in my head: Making a script that contains all removable *safe* packages. User can thick which one needs to be deleted (zenity, anyone :P)
Nice idea. A console-GUI application allowing the user to tick boxes to remove suggested packages and perform suggested modifications and/or tweaks, such as:

"remove bme from system"
"eliminate actdead mode"
"create a runlevel for booting to shell"
"..."

What happens when battery have been out? It just skips that screen and you can set the time later or do we get an semi-bricked device?
Nothing. Your date and time is simply wrong. ntpdate to the rescue
