To be honest, I was expecting more something like
StephenB says: No worries buddy, your data are still there.
Just apt-get foo-barfs and mount a ext4 volume with offest 42.
Me : Dude, you're the guru among the gurus.It works like a charm.
Please accept my eternal gratitude. May I pay you with Beercoins?

Anyway, and at last, I was able to retrieve all my data from my 2 TB HDD just today.
I am now able to mount every partition:
System (ext3 - 4GB)
Restore? (can't remember - 512 MB)
Data (ext4 - 1.8 TB)
But if I am now technically able to fix the booting issue of the NAS, I don't know what to start with.
I guess a serial console would help debugging the booting process, or a directly-connected display...
In last resort, I will buy a new HDD and proceed to a factory reset :(

  Beercoins? You didn't say that before :smileywink:
  
  Your situation looked delicate, I didn't want to offer advice that might backfire and make it worse. FramerV's suggestion on paid support seemed appropriate to me.
