I'll keep posting here, although this is technically a Mer 0.8 chroot thing...
I found, through trial and error, I had to install a few more items:
I also had to remove hildon-desktop and hildon-desktop-env in order to install gnome-menus. And without gnome-menus, the Enlightenment desktop is pretty empty.
UPDATE: So the big show-stopper for E17 in the Mer chroot is the very thing that makes Mer so attractive for a Maemo chroot; the hildon-input-method stylus keyboard tries to pop up when you click on a GTK text area and it brings E17 crashing down... Also, the Liberty theme is a bit of a disaster in E17...
UPDATE2: I put some screenshots in my flickr account:

I'd recommend the B_and_W theme which you can get from gnome-look.org as a theme.
Also, you could try alternative menu building apps to gnome-menu. It's just one that I knew worked. There's on called "menu" and a few others that do the same thing. Maybe one won't have the dependency problems.
Edit: It looks like you had to install a verson of eet from the ubuntu repos. Could this be part of the problem? Maybe the version of eet I put in isn't working or is missing some packages? Either way, I'm in the process of adding a building a new version and it should be uploaded to the mer repos soon!
*Out of curiosity: Did you have problems with the backgound having sort of "lines" going across them? I had this problem with these packages in my install, but I'm not sure what caused it. The background wallpaer should be a smooth gradient.

I think we should take the E17 discussion elsewhere... This really isn't the thread for it...

Yeah, I saw the banding. I assumed that was a problem with the 16-bit colours on the tablet.
BTW: The banding only occurs in the deb version of the e17. My manually built and installed version looks perfect. So, I'll have to look into that problem some more. I believe it is related to the 16bit factor, but not sure how.
Also, my packages are actually newer than the Diablo ones (they are fresh from svn as of the day I build them), I'm just not marking the versions as high as them, apparently.

did you resolve this issue? could someone more skilled than me point me in the right direction? i'm fighting with non-booting jaunty from a lot of hours without success... system seems to start and then "Incompatible bootmenu used". device is a n810, i've installed jaunty with the debootstrap method in first and second posts of this thread. thanks in advance for the help.i must leave now, i'm going to genuflect myself in front of my wife to (maybe) prevent divorce

Thanks for pointing that out, i'll fix the first post
EDIT: What i had originally was actually right, the reason i used '-uM' in that command was so you would be partitioning with megabyte units. :P

I'll try and build the package this evening. Hopefully, they'll all be ready to go soon.
