We don't pick and choose individual packages to include or exclude from the live images, but simply install what would be present in a default install of each of these desktops. So, for example, if the maintainers of task-desktop-gnome decide lvm2 and mdadm should be part of the default desktop experience, we include them. Otherwise, we don't. That being said, I don't disagree. They would be useful and not too big to include. It's just a problem better solved as a group of packages maintained as a task-* within Debian than having the Debian Live project decide by ones and twos "extra stuff" to include that deviates from the default install.
