The place to be working on this is the live-tasks repo/source package
[1] first. That's where the tasks are defined for our live builds to
use. Once there's a task defined there and in the archive, we can add
it in the live-setup repo [2] so it'll be built regularly alongside
the images for the graphical desktops.
