Before you say "dynamically resizable!" consider that for me the only difference is that with the loop file method I won't have to use e2resizefs (but I'll have to use a tool to resize the FAT32 filesystem either way).
Here is a quick one: if I had titan's partition scheme I would try to use AUFS, bind mount or other techiniques to transparently make better use of disk space. That done, i would probably have the FULL debian repository at my disposal, without some of the IO problems that the easydebian people are trying to solve. All this in a nicely, secured, scructured manner.

Don't you think this would be nice?
