If there is an upgrade available for any of the packages i "archived", do i need to "de-optify" (undo) before applying it?

BTW after next reboot mc and dosbox icons (i "optified" both) were replaced with blue squares. It happens to desktop shortcuts only, icons the launcher are intact.

Remember that this is a workaround. I'm sure Nokia/Maemo Community comes up with a solution to the "opt problem" (other than to *manually* optify packages before submitting them to the repositories - I'm thinking automatic opt checks when submitting a package to -devel/-testing) sooner or later...
Another thing; Before a firmware upgrade I would also undo whatever I have archived (just to be on the safe side)... You never know what that firmware might bring us...

I've been thinking about the same thing. If the updated package still isn't optified it will overwrite the links I believe. If it is optified it won't be a problem AFAIK. That would create links to the new files (in /opt) overwriting the old links AND files.
From what I see the above post describes how it should work but actually it works a little diferently.
If the updated application isn't optified it will overwrite the links and you'll end up with unessacery files leftover in /opt/relocated/.
The same will also happen if the updated application is optified too. It will not overwrite the old files simply because they are in a different folder from what the correct optification uses.
Basically, all the heavy-lifting in the script has been done but it is not complete so you should be carefull and willing to reflash if you decide to use it.
Hope it helps.

So maybe the script should be edited to "archive" using the correct paths?

One more related is that the relocated applications don't appear any more in the list to add them as a sortcut in the desktop.
Haven't understood yet the reason but it might be related on the bootup sequence. That is, the /opt might be mounted after this info is being cached.
It works good.
