No.. this is possible.. it's been discussed in the easy debian thread several places.

You have to copy the resize2fs binary from the debian installation to maemo.. and umount the image.. then run the resize.

But anytime I resized it more than 1.5GB the entire image would become so corrupted that I couldn't even delete it.. the FS had no idea what to do with the file.

The best way is to use a partition for debian.
