The easy debian image (the 2 GB one) does not reside in the 2 GB /opt partition. It rests in the 32 GB MyDocs partition.

Correct. As long as you have more than 2 GBs free in the MyDocs partition. Though I advise you to download the image from a computer and copying and pasting over USB than using the install method on the N900. It takes a llooonnnnggg time to download 2 GBs even over wifi.

You'll need about 2.5 GB in /home/user/MyDocs where you have all your data and media. The easy debian chroot application itself is very small.

EDIT: 3 posts while I was slowly typing mine, wow.

It is a full Debian system, just in a chroot. For detailled installation instructions see http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian

This has some background information, although it's not up-to-date regarding the N900:
