Bug#675467: ITP: bilibop -- run Debian from external media
Hi,
This looks pretty interesting and exciting to me!
Hence, a few inline questions follow.

This sounds awesome, but pretty vague, so I'm curious:
What security issues?
What hardening?
How more robust?

This might be useful for Tails' implementation of "wipe memory on
shutdown".

I fail to understand how a drive can be a member of the 'disk' group.
Please enlighten me. (Being offline, I can't read the mentionned bug
right now, but still, the package description should make sense by
itself, without needing to access online resources.)

Such as?

Interesting.
What makes it different from (or better than) fsprotect and live-boot?
