One might want to point out that there are usually several options if one desperately wants to see that happen, amongst them are: - send patches and/or - pay someone to do it Even if no one from the debian-live/live-wrapper team is willing/interested to do this, be it as a volunteer or for money, the code is available under a free/libre license and there are quite a few people with Linux skills that will code for money (I'm not one of them, just saying I know such people ;-)). So even if it takes them longer to get it done than a debian-live/live-wrapper team member would need for the same task, it is still an option one might want to consider. -Stefan (a mere user of debian-live, but PM of another F/LOSS project)
