On this matter, I will comment a bit more below on the PS point.

I personally think it would be a great addition, but live-medium-install is
currently in live-tools debian-next branch. To me it seems out of work flow
a bit to include manual information on items not in debian branch for
releases.

I believe Daniel makes the decision on what moves from debian-next branch
to debian branch when ready.

Daniel, do you believe live-medium-install ready for migration from
debian-next branch to debian branch of live-tools?

I would be willing to assist, as time permits, since I think the tool very
valuable. Please know I am not the best manual writer even though I am
supposed to know English. ;)

On this point, the other script that I submitted to compliment
live-medium-install called live-partial-squashfs-updates:


http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=live-tools.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin/live-partial-squashfs-updates;hb=refs/heads/debian-next


I believe worth considering to migrate to debian branch as well. Since it
was designed in mind to compliment the deployments of live-medium-install
firmware systems. The script is used to build partial-squashfs-updates (psu
files, I call them), this combined with the wonderful live-boot 3x is great
way to have a stable release as firmware and ship out service packs or
minor adjustments on top.

Thank you for the dialog and consideration on these scripts to migrate to
the debian branch of live-tools for release and the possible inclusion in
the manual.
