Thanks, though it doesn't resolve the problem I particularly have in mind, which is this: A lot of people are being told by the criminals at Microsoft that their computers are unfit for their latest spyware. I would like to recommend Debian/TDE to those persons, but there's no easy way to get there, and anyone bright enough to do it the hard way gave up Windows decades ago.
I had in mind even other features, like to build it also for 32-bit machines and a predefined non-english locale. This is why I built my custom live image [1] [2] with TDE (you can use it in english as well). Similar to official images: - Calamares installer (very simple to use) - TDM (ie native login manager) - ISO image for usb stick
I don't understand why you want an "official" image (I tryed the KDE one and I abandoned immediatly). I think the Debian community will never publish a live image based on packages outside official repos. You can just build it by yourself and publish it. And BTW, I don't like the tool that Debian use for building live images, I think kiwi-ng [3] is much better.
