Confirmed, `dpkg -l '*live*' shows` we have no live-* packages installed
in any of our rootfs's, probably because they were never installed in
the first place: `lb config --system normal` does not create a
`config/package-lists/live.list.chroot`, which should be the package
list responsible for installing them in live systems.

Ok, and are we 100% sure that a workaround to fixup existing
installations via a package is actually needed? Given the remediation
is just:

dpkg-divert --quiet --local --remove --no-rename /etc/os-release; apt
install --reinstall base-files
