Debian fork

[Martinx - ジェームズ]

Debian is impressive! I really like it.

I'm rebuilding the Xen LiveCD (https://github.com/tmartinx/xenlivecd)
using Jessie with `live-build` to build it.

I'll take a look into PureBlends!

Currently, `live-build` doesn't build a live session powered by
`sysvinit-core`, only `systemd` works okay with it...   :-/

Cheers!
