Morning, Let's start with content and then reproduciblity can follow once things are moving.
The primary use case I have in my head is for an amateur 'shack PC' used at a one day event or in a shared-use environment. Typically, this will be an old machine belonging to a club member or the person running. They will likely be looking to keep logs, use datamodes and perform a few other tasks.

This feels like it would be overkill - there are a number of packages buried away which are typically reserved for 'infrastructure' type projects and don't suit the more temporary nature of a live image - it's not worth installing the 'svxlink' [1] set of packages in every install for the amount it's actually going to be used, for example. I think there's a couple of metapackages where everything will be useful, and a couple where a more measured approach of just one or two packages will be suitable. > * Do you also propose to override some default values for some packages?
