Thanks for the explanation.

That is what I tried first, as I didn't know it was deprecated. If any
feedback is still useful for that one, it would be good to have a system
in English by default ;-)

I've installed this package on a clean trixie environment. But the
experience was not the same, as I ended up with a "full-featured" IceWM
menu, not the targeted environment I got with the live image. I guess it
is still a work-in-progress and the customization done for the live
image cannot be directly used in this new method?

I have limited understanding of how things work under the hoods... sorry
if  question is too naif.

Well, maybe for now we could simply put the .iso file in one of the
Debian machines for download and add the link to the wiki?

For sure it will! That's all great news!

Would you be open to brainstorm ideas for the environment configuration?

I feel there will be so many decisions to be made, and the more we
involve the community in this process, the better.

How about setting up a jitsi call in a few weeks and get participants to
test an image beforehand and come with feedback?
