Good points, but your solutions sounds like it makes the regular update more complex than needed. (hard choices for unprepared users by default) I'd keep things in /media/flash and offer a "reset configuration" option in the settings (perhaps it would be simply done by the "Format Flash" option that seems to wipe the user-modifieble (ie non-firmware) space)
