Hi Ian,
I can only give my personal opinion here since I am no authority in any respect.
I think you are missing the point that Ben is patiently trying to make
since the very beginning of this thread. He is talking about
"flexibility" all the time whereas you seem to have those packages
"hardcoded" in your argumentation.
Maintaining a package list is a real PITA (capital letters should show
how big a pita it is) and real hard work in a huge archive such as
debian's is with hundreds of packages coming in and out on a daily
basis, or sometimes simply being renamed.
I suggest you think twice about all the possibilities that have been
mentioned in the thread. You will surely appreciate the flexibility
that the creation of live images offers (since it allows you to
include those packages and many more).
Enjoy your summer holiday :)
