there is now a tool called "USB startup disk creator" available in ubuntu that automates all the needed work here; and it works perfectly fine. I tried using the UNETBOOTIN approach, but it produced a version which ran into many of the problems listed above by Jan. This was with the latest ubuntu release available at this time which is ubuntu 9.04. The problem is in UNETBOOTIN in that it is not doing all the necessary stuff to enable the USB version to work seamlessly. There is nothing to be fixed in debian-installer per se if the USB creator method works just fine (assuming it does not apply binary patches to the debian-installer components :)
