I suggest giving febootstrap[0] a peak, I haven't actually pulled off an
install like this (mainly because I haven't had a use case but now I
kinda want to try it out) but I imagine its something that could be
accomplished. You'll need to create a filesystem by hand and mount the
other partition, but from there febootstrap should do the trick. Its not
"supported" and its somewhat round about but something about it seems
like a fun solution.

Happy hacking,

P.S. - febootstrap is in the official repos, so grab it via the package
manager instead of mucking around with the source ;)
