Smells like you want to file a wishlist bug report for live-helper ...

Ditto.

Why not using

   svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/community/infrastructure/livecd

??

Didn't I asked you before to commit your configuration stuff to this
place?  Do you like the idea to use this repository for the Live CD
thingy?  I'd call it a very good idea.

Normally it works like this:  Start with what you can do and ask for
help in certain questions where you have problems?

I'm not convinced that this is very reasonable.  There are always
changes to certain components so rebuilding new images might be
done very frequently but there is no real need to rebuild over and
over again.  (But I might be wrong here.)

Kind regards
