"Why Debian Live?", you may ask. Here are the reasons:
What is wrong with current live systems?
There are already several Debian-based live systems and they are doing a great job. But, from the Debian perspective, most of them have one or more of the following disadvantages:
They are unofficial projects, developed outside of Debian.
They mix different distributions, e.g. testing and unstable.
They support i386 only.
They change package's behavior and/or appearance by stripping them down to save space.
They include unofficial packages.
They ship custom kernels with additional patches not part of Debian.
They are large and slow due to their sheer size and thus not suitable for rescue issues.
They are not available in different flavours, e.g. CDs, DVDs, USB-stick and netboot images
Why create our own live system?
Debian is the Universal Operating System: Debian should have an official live system for showing around and to officially represent the true, one and only Debian system with the following main advantages:
It would be an official Debian subproject.
It reflects the (current) state of one distribution.
It runs on as many architectures as possible.
It consists of unchanged Debian packages only.
It does not contain any unofficial packages.
It uses an unaltered Debian kernel-image with no additional patches.
