The format seemed to me a bit ad hoc, so I've used SQLite3
instead.
The news is that both the disassembly (e2dis) and reassembly
(imrt) tools are now working (but read below for a caution) and
available from their public Git repository [1] at Gitorious!
[1] https://gitorious.org/e2dis/e2dis-devel
The performance of e2dis itself is apparently out of concern:

The respecitve filesystems' sizes are as follows:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use%
FILESYSTEM-1 3096336 1146168 1792884 39%
FILESYSTEM-2 507748 477089 4445 100%
And the sizes of the resulting indices are:
11054080 (3.5%) 0bca32a2-d46c-11e0-935b-001966aaa0b6.db
6078464 (1.2%) 105f858e-d498-11e0-935b-001966aaa0b6.db
(No data in the indices beyond, roughly, the offsets, the
hashes, and the inode numbers.)
Unfortunately, the performance of the image reassembly tool
(imrt) is extremly poor for the filesystems of more than a few
MiB's size. (And it seems that there may be subtle bugs, too.)
As with jigdo-file(1), imrt doesn't rely on filenames, and
instead “guesses” the output chunks the files passed to it
correspond by comparing the hashes (SHA-1 and SHA256 as of
a726267a.) However, such a comparison is currently implemented
in a straightforward yet suboptimal (as in: totally dumb) way,
leading to the problem.
I still hope to rewrite the respective part of the code and
reach a better reassembly rate, and will report to the list.

That doesn't seem to be necessary: jigdo-file(1) relies on
hashes, not filenames; and jigdo-lite(1) could be taught to
recognize .deb's and unpack them into a temporary directory, for
jigdo-file(1) to pick up the contents.
