First of all, many thanks to Gaudenz for looking into cleaning the live-* mess!

Just needs someone to compile a list of candidate packages ... Or if someone wants to try it on its own: do wheezy -> jessie upgrade tests of the packages you want to test and add the flags --extra-old-packages live-tools > But I agree that probably more packages than just util-linux need fixing > for this.

Do you see another way to fix this? A proper fix would probably require using a time machine to prevent some buggy uploads from having happened in the past ... But until this happens, we need to clean up the collateral damage caused by these diversions. And if someone looks for it systematically (and before the release), even better! Even if we could get something fixed in wheezy, there would be no guarantee that this update has been installed before upgrading to jessie.
