NOTE: just because it's a Live CD/DVD doesn't mean you can't install
software from the Debian repository (unionfs), it just means it won't
survive a reboot.

By "apt-get to" was meant where does the software go when the boot and
root/OS media is ro, and the HD is not accessible until the repair
which is the reason for booting live media has been performed?
But you asked "Is there something better on the media to serve its
purpose?" and the answer is yes, gfdisk (same functionality plus
additional abilities).
