Already done, no command line needed, just boot with a boot parameter to 
enable this:

If you have an image file on a fat or a partition (or usb) labeled :

"casper-rw" - enable at boot with "persistent"
"home-rw"  -  enable at boot with "homepersistence"

It will, on the first, enable full persistence to all "/",
the latter, only to "/home".

Suggested file system to use for persistence: ext2, but works also with xfs, 
ext3...

Supported by casper-1.59-debian-1.
No isos to download yet with this casper, build up one for yourself or wait.

to create an image file use:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/mounted/fat/home-rw bs=1M count=200
# mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 /path/to/mounted/fat/home-rw

or for an entire disk partition (or usb partition), which will be faster:

# mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 -L home-rw /dev/ofyourusb/partition # like /dev/sda1 or 
similar
