Yes we have already talked about this and I will also try to add this 
functionality soon.

Although this does seem like an interesting use case, I would argue that 
if you are going to be adding packages or updating a full livecd image, 
this should be done in the ks file and the image should be rebuild using 
livecd-creator.

The edit-livecd script was mainly intended for a simple edit of a config 
file, addition of public key for SSH, or to change the root password.
