Bug#931459: release-notes: Release notes: mention re-introduction of the standard live image

[jonathan]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Debian Live Buster re-introduces the standard live image. This is a basic Debian image that contains a base Debian system without any graphical user interface. Because it installs from a squashfs image rather than installing the system files using dpkg, installation times are a lot faster than installing from a minimal Debian installation image.

rather than installing the system files using dpkg, installation times
are a lot faster than installing from a minimal Debian installation
image.

So this is another text that should go in whats-new? It seems as
though it should include the item about calamares, instead of just
being plonked down after it:

<section id="debian-live">

<title>Debian Live</title>

Debian Live Buster re-introduces the standard live image. This is a
basic Debian image that contains a base Debian system without any
graphical user interface. Because it installs from a squashfs image
rather than installing the system files using <command>dpkg</command>,
installation times are a lot faster than installing from a minimal
Debian installation image.
</para>
<para>
The live images also ship an additional installer called Calamares.
Calamares is a distribution-agnostic project that aims to create a
universal installer, providing an easy-to-use graphical interface
designed for typical laptop and desktop users. It doesn't yet support
advanced partitioning options like RAID, but for advanced users,
debian-installer is still available from the installation media boot menu.
</para>
</section>

This would also imply a correction to the link from issues.dbk.
Revised versions of two patches (plus another copy of the bonus patch
for evolution) attached.

There is now also
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/merge_requests/45/diffs
which touches on the same point, but is a bit more extensive.

I notice it also has
* some Unicode apostrophes;
* and Unicode quotes instead of <quote>s;
* one en_GB spelling, "flavour";
* "ISOS" where I assume it means "ISOs" (plural of "ISO").
I've also lowercased the releasename "buster" but not the phrase
"Debian Live Buster".

(A lazy non-git-using diff because I'm dist-upgrading my desktop PC
right now!)
