Live Systems Maintainers,

URL: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/

All weekly live builds for Buster include the (Priority: optional)
inetutils-ping package, but not the conflicting (Priority: important)
iputils-ping.  I see no compelling reason for this.

I believe that this is because live-task-recommended recommends
inetutils-ping:
        Recommends: less, dkms, haveged, time, firmware-linux-free,
        inetutils-ping, netutils, file, dbus, openssh-client, lsof

An **untested** patch is attached, which removes the inetutils-ping
recommendation.  Since "less" is Priority: important in Buster,
it can probably be removed too, but I'm not that courageous.

Thank you!
Dan
