I'm afraid I still don't really understand what you mean.

Are you using "rs232 console" to mean "with Debian already installed"?

If so then is the purpose of this ext2 image to be able to relaunch the
installer after Debian is already installed in order to reinstall
Debian?

Is it not possible to do this by cat'ting the relevant files
into /dev/mtdblock* as with other similar platforms?

Anyway, I think reinstalling Debian is a rather secondary use case and I
don't think we need to be supplying (or, more importantly, maintaining)
such an image by default. Best just to document how to make a suitable
USB key IMHO.

Ian.
