Actually following chains of links from
http://www.cs.montana.edu/~andrew.hamilton/ is leading in potentially
useful directions.
As to "[Update]", pondering this thread and my tread about "back up

Partition images may be overkill. It looks like:
/home
/var/cache/apt/archives/
a yet undefined subset of /usr
will actually be more useful.
Thanks all.
