One might want to point out that there are usually several options if
one desperately wants to see that happen, amongst them are:
- send patches and/or
- pay someone to do it
Even if no one from the debian-live/live-wrapper team is
willing/interested to do this, be it as a volunteer or for money, the
code is available under a free/libre license and there are quite a few
people with Linux skills that will code for money (I'm not one of them,
just saying I know such people ;-)). So even if it takes them longer to
get it done than a debian-live/live-wrapper team member would need for
the same task, it is still an option one might want to consider.
