Seems reasonable.

I think that
unzip, subversion, git, wireless-tools, and wpa-supplicant would be
useful,
Will the LiveCD need an initramfs to boot?
No, but the kernel will be fairly large. It is not intended to support
everything though. Just a typical x86_64 based system starting to a
virtual screen.
OK, that makes sense. If you decide to script the build, can you send me a
copy of the files? I would like to make a systemd adaptation just to prove
that it can be done (that would include the systemd book and sources, as
well as the kernel options necessary for it and systemd itself... could be
used for reading the journal of a failed system and recovering it).
This will take me a while. I have not built a live-dd/iso before and I'm
just researching what is needed now. I do think a hint would be
appropriate right now, but if everything works out, we might want to add
something to BLFS like the section on Firewalls or Certificates.
