How do I put the debian folder into the ext3 container file while its still on my computer?

The computer is Linux Mint 17.
With made-up names - make up ones to suit.

The container file:
sudo mount ext3.container /mnt/tmp

The debian folder:
cd ~/debian-folder

The contents of one into the other:
sudo cp -a * /mnt/tmp
(Must be done as root to preserve devices and other special files.)

go back home
cd

release the loop file:
sudo umount /mnt/tmp
