Looking at
config/chroot_local-includes/lib/live/config/2030-install-truecrypt it
seems like it would be pretty easy to do. The question I'd have is,
what would be an acceptable way to handling this? 

Without the boot parameter:

- the wrapper (normally located at /usr/sbin/wrapper) could have some
  sort of _disabled suffix and it'd be stashed away, perhaps somewhere
  under /usr/share/amnesia with the permissions set to 000. 
- the 'start I2P' menu entry and associated scripts would be removed.
- perhaps /usr/share/i2p would exist in a tarball somewhere
  under /usr/share/amnesia.

With the boot parameter, all of this would be undone: 

- the menu entry would be re-added. 
- the java service wrapper would have the standard
  755 permissions restored and it'd be moved into place
- the tarball could be extracted to /usr/share/i2p
  and the start script would be put in place.


Does any of this mesh with what you (collectively) had in mind?
