In Tails [1], we rely on live-media=removable to avoid trusting the
content of internal drives. So it's critical for us to have live-boot
*always* obey live-media=removable.

I've not looked at the details of the proposed patches, so I may be
totally wrong about what the exact proposed behaviour would change for
us, though.
