Yes, in a dev point of view, we are not official. But for documentation, artwork, and beginner teams, we are treated equals with other flavors. It's still a process "in progress", but my contact from Canonical is quiet for weeks :-/

There's probably some parameters to "lh > config" I can use to fix that, it just needs more work. live-helper is not used for Ubuntu ISO (as far as I know), it's probably why you have a different behavior. > Well... maybe the team as a whole is "to blame", because the principle > of documenting its processes, so others can understand them, repeat them > and work with them, is not yet an established part of LUbuntu culture? > Let's agree it is a current weakness, and do what we can to fix it.

Is this TODO page reasonably up to date? It's more items that I didn't turn into bug reports.
