My use case is to use live for the OpenStack CI, when I want to test
with Sid and not stable. Probably not a lot of people do that, but it's
still a use case. Do you know if it's possible to generate a Sid live
system?

I don't mind much the severity, but I'd very much prefer if we found out
how to fix! Currently, I still don't understand which script is the
problem. Do you have any idea?
