That's made me think - we (as in the community) could provide packages via opkg.org that provided regular updates for various countries / regions / zoom levels. Would be very easy to do, just make sure that someone has up to date tiles (OSMupdater, for example) and package them up to be extracted to /media/card/maps It's extra work for one person, and extra load on opkg.org, but for us lazy people out there, it'd be great. I might even try it out with a South England example myself.
