I was able to make this work without much of a problem using dates in the 
format they arrive from the database.
But that's not an acceptable for the users... and here I started having 
problems.

It's easy enough to set the dateFormat of the datepicker (as suggested in 
posts I've seen around), but that does not seem enough.
When editing a row, dates are still displayed in ISO format and modified 
ones, that have been returned with the correct format by the datepicker, 
are not understood by the Model/MySQL that ends up saving the row with 
messed up values.
I build the field with:
        echo $this->Form->input('date_start', array(
            'type' => 'text',
            'class' =>'datepicker',
            'size' => 10
        ));

Before I start writing an Helper (that perhaps generates an hidden field 
with the date in ISO format and the necessary Javascript to move the 
displayed value to&from and reformatting as necessary)...

I was wondering if there's a better solution around I just have not seen...

Can anyone help ?
