not really ;
this list is for discussions among developers of installer for sarge,
and main reason that that installer doesn't have a great rescue capability
is because it's developers lack time.

There has never been a separate rescue CD,
instead, installation CD's had rescue capability.
And Debian's reason for wanting to provide rescue capability
is not because that's what they're supposed to,
but because they think it is important to have a possibility to
rescue a Debian system.
If this can be done with knoppix, fine.

this part is on topic for this list i think :-)
have fun !

P.S. A suggestion for your emails:
add a line at the end that says something like:
"please disregard the FUD that my email-provider appends to my messages".
