First off I had to make xterm font smaller (to fit the console-tools' ncurses screen) to make it start, otherwise I'd get "ESC pressed" error and it'd quit. (N800 here)

Next I had a quick look around the new menus. I half-expected there to be, for instance, preset options for cloning system to SD (2GB/4GB/8GB etc), but it appears that at least at this stage that means manually creating new partitions to "target" and figuring out how to move the "source" over. Some HOWTOs would be useful indeed.

I also tried the REMOVE packages option. I had an internal SD with recent system which fails (reboot loop) soon after booting to desktop, but the menu found only the booted flash partition.

I'd also suggest that you start using version names (eg. console-tools_v0.95.deb or somesuch) and perhaps even get the package to Maemo Extras or another repo for easy updating while letting them worry about download traffic.
