Bug#812358: debian-live: Please add gparted
Ben,
When I do
$ apt-get live-images
>From within jesse, I see a /usr/share/live/images/rescue folder and except for about 4 packages it seems to build fine.
Couldn't we just fixup those few packages and/or remove them from the package-list and be good?
Or is this more a matter of debian has decided to go a different direction with tasksel-* and blends?

If the three of you wanted to make a blend that provides a set of rescue tools on a live image (or maybe more than one, if you decide there is a need for it), I could help in an administrative capacity (alioth project, mailing list, etc.)
