The more I'm going under-the-skin of Maemo, the more curious I become as to what it would be like running a different OS on the N900. I won't try it yet on the grounds that I need it for communication and I can't risk bricking it, but I still wonder.
Do you think repartitioning the VFAT partition to FAT32 would be of any help?

Next important question...what exactly is the batt you are using?...did it come with your device?...do you know the age of it?...is it the oem bp5j ?...is it a real?...is it a knockoff?...is it a fake?
...has it simply been used so much ...the charge is gone?....Exactly how certain are you about the battery history...?...
have you tried an external charger to charge the battery to see if it is actually charging?...perhaps it is simply a charging issue on-device...
once the batt is (hopefully) fully charged externally and reinserted in device perhaps the device will run properly....better to aim at this angle of troubleshooting 1st perhaps ...rule out simply the batt 1st ...if that isn't the prob...then move on to the next step....aim at the most probable....least invasive...least costly solutions and work upward from there...
I'm sure someone else may have been in the same spot as what you are describing and has exactly the right answer ...the right solution which will help...patience...lotsa people here with a lotta smarts.....if you try anything don't make it invasive...tearing your device apart just yet...

@pichlo: Thank you for that little tidbit.
@endorsermeans: Specifically EXT3? As for copying the Easy Debian files to it, where would I mount this partition? Thank you for the help!
@Mara: Where is MaeModder? I can't find it in the repos, unless the package name is different. EDIT: Never mind, found the .deb file for download.
@Amboss: I'm downloading BatteryGraph right now. That's definitely worrysome, considering that it may be able to explain why, after an overnight charge while turned off, my N900 ended up nearly flat after a few hours. Categorization's nice, but not at the cost of battery life for something so simple.
I'm aware that some info's outdated; 'tis an inescapable caveat of OSS wikis. Even the ArchWiki needs to catch up with itself sometimes.
