Well, Jessie has released and nobody has done this, so if there is any
interest still in reviving rescue as an official Debian live flavour,
someone (not me, and not adrian15 -- see below) is going to have to file
the tasksel bug with at least the package list that was removed as a
starting point. I'm concerned that we had users saying they didn't want
Rescue to go away, and yet a year later there is no visible progress by
those who asked for it.

Likewise. I'm not leading the charge on this. We're into a new release
cycle now, and if anyone wants to see these images come back for
Stretch, now is a good time to get started.
