Well, there's one thing I've been wondering about, - The Debian chroot project(s) and patches have same problems as the bootable Debian for tablets - that we distribute around big tar.gzs (which we don't do anymore) and such and add patches manually and stuff.
If any of you are interested in using my installer (which allows partioning, mkfs, debootstraps and installs packages on top) from
http://trac.tspre.org/projects/nit-debian
and maybe have a joint project regarding Debian on tablets (both boot and chroot).
Since we would probably share many of the same user interface packages to get things working under Xomap/on the tablet etc, I'd be more than interested to create support in installer for a chroot install.
I also have packages generating specific environments, and installer supporting installation goals so people could have nit-env-fluxbox, nit-env-xfce4, or, nit-env-theirown.
If any interest exists for this, I'm always up for discussion in private messages here (or on this thread), or on #maemo on IRC
The installer is already quite configurable and the base package system is quite easy to work with, so it would be possible to have different configs for chroot Debian and bootable Debians.
