Well. These are similar but not the same.
mkbackup.py would create a LiveCD/LiveDVD out of a running system.
I don't know what edit-liveos does or edit-livecd but to my knowledge
they are only for inserting packages into an already built LiveCD ISO.

The mkbackup.py script does not do that, it simply would create a
LiveCD/DVD out of the current installed system as a means for a Live
bootable backup image, which with Anaconda, can be reinstalled to a
machine in case of disk failure or other problems.
