sorry for the late response, it hit the time where i had no stable
internet for about 6 weeks due to mooving. anyhow..

the patch is huge and i don't think all of it is necessary[0]. but first
of all, rather than fetching gujin from the sf page, it should come from
a debian package. any plans to upload a gujin package to debian?

[0] basically you're replacing much of the live-boot own logic
completely, which is not a problem per se, but in order to review and
apply this, we should seperate things to logical pieces, means, first
make the modifications/adjustments/fixes to the generic functions, and
then add gujiin specificas on top of it. that way we can ensure we're
not breaking other stuff and don't add yet another dublication layer to
live-boot, which is already way too messy in its current state anyway :(
