I'm pretty sure the better thing to do would be to have the bi-arch
shell script as a tool added just like edit-livecd has been added.

I do not think changing the whole model is going to solve anything,
especially since
the current model is just fine and does what it should.
Building a bi-arch rescue disc or USB image is an addon-feature
not a core-function.
