Thanks. The inclusion of 'live desktop media' is slightly tricky, I
should have unpacked that: it's basically impossible for a package to
get onto the live media if it's not installable, as it has to be
installed to build the media, but including the phrase gives us a
criterion to use when a package is blocking the creation of the live
media...
