Good advice.

Bad advice - it would prevent it getting through NEW.  See:

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582884#77

If it created bootable LiveCDs and installer-CDs, "cd-creator" would
be a poor but tolerable name and "bootcd-creator" would be fine.  But
even "bootusb-creator" would still be a terrible name for this
package, because there's no such thing as a bootable USB (or "a USB"
in general), and because the software also works on non-USB media.
