..and make those directories rw that need to (which then would need to
include /tmp; but that's an issue from squeeze->sid that needs handling
anyway).

[ naturally, yes. but we don't upload to wheezy, only to sid (and
testing gets whatever unstable has with some delays), so testing can be
ignored, we only care about stable and unstable at a time. ]

right, but that's another issue.
i suggest we disable RAMTMP at build-time, and enable it at run-time
(by mounting tmpfs on /tmp manually through live-config, rather than
through mountkernfs) if there's persistency involved. in the case of
exposed root, /tmp is just another addition to the other rw directories.
that should cover all cases. any objections?
