Stacking of little .squashfs files in live directory is enough for me to distribute small updates. I yet use these features but it needs a reboot.at low priority (but still something we will need to care about) is smart way to 'apt-get upgrade' the distributed live-systems. i've not so many ideas about it yet, but i'm sure we can come up with something once the basics work again.
Not easy !For now, I am using the aufs and live-initramfs feature that allows many stacked filesystems R/O. So little updates are easy to download (my main filesystem.squashfs is 1.3 M !). But it's all manual work. Having software in little independent pieces doesn't fit well with what makes debian a robust system.
Using /cow --> additionnal.squashfs (live-snapshot) just after booting and adding one package is easy and clear way, but the additionnal.squashfs is quite big because of debian global databases that are duplicates in each additionnal.squashfs.
