I did neither use an img file nor a partition, but simply a directory on a big partition on my N810. This is how I did:

Mount the image on a linux desktop,

Share the dir by NFS, and copy the content of the mounted image to /debian on the tablet.

In .chroot, put whatever name in IMGFILE, uncomment CHROOT

As root edit /sbin/debian and comment the part that tries to mount the image.

Et voilą. A part from the fn key that does not work, everything is fine. I might have to modify /sbin/debbie as well, though.
