We don't pick and choose individual packages to include or exclude from
the live images, but simply install what would be present in a default
install of each of these desktops. So, for example, if the maintainers
of task-desktop-gnome decide lvm2 and mdadm should be part of the
default desktop experience, we include them. Otherwise, we don't.
That being said, I don't disagree. They would be useful and not too big
to include. It's just a problem better solved as a group of packages
maintained as a task-* within Debian than having the Debian Live project
decide by ones and twos "extra stuff" to include that deviates from the
default install.
