The rescue CD prior to its removal contained quite a number of tools.

So additionally, a blend would add the value of an expertly
chosen set of rescue packages, representing the best of what Debian has
to offer in helping a user deal with a wide variety of rescue scenarios.
This is the number one reason why I started building my own live images
based on jessie xfce-desktop. With the addition of a few critical
diagnostic and rescue tools, Debian Live is upgraded from a handy
desktop and Debian installer to an all-purpose emergency survival kit.
The footprint of these tools is modest and in my view there is no reason
why Debian Live should not become the rescue image of choice. I keep one
in my pocket wherever I go. One image to rule them all.
This is an excerpt from my config/package-lists/custom.list.chroot:
# diagnostics
memtest86+
hdparm
smartmontools
mesa-utils
pciutils
usbutils
lshw
# luks rescue
cryptsetup-bin
lvm2
# miscellaneous
ntp
less
nmap
traceroute
Kind regards,
