Solution #1: develop a "bootable iso into USB stick" tool
Written by daddo the 12 Nov 08 at 10:25.
Why not to make a tool which, can put any bootable iso into USB stick? For example, the 'Create a USB startup disk' in 8.10 accepts only Ubuntu ISOs. Why not any others ISO too?
Bootable Ubuntu USB stick idea is not the same as "livecd/livedvd to USB stick" idea.

Include it in the repos, but make it easy to create Ubuntu images for USB drives from Ubuntu install LiveCDs (and on the installed system).
