Back to the task at hand..
well turnkey is problematic on lmde .
I wouldn't suggest tklpatch for it.
another distro it may function fine...
and I intend to try it later on a few.
I did find that there is yet another option.
2 options in fact.
refracta
http://www.ibiblio.org/refracta/
their write-up seems innocuous enough..
what they offer is quite intriguing.
one of 2 options...

1- a debian distro which... in it.. has the requisite tools to make a live usb from the running system ...choose the latest release.
It does not state whether or not you can distribute your revised distro as an iso before turning it into a live usb distro.

2- the requisite tools in the form of "refracta2usb" .
this tool will not work on a standard distro ...but will work on live distros...turning it's running instance and everything you have on it into a live usb. So it therefore is possible to pack up what you wish on your live distro and make a live usb out of it. Not sure if you can simply distribute your revised live distro as an iso and then let those individuals burn their own live usb's
It is an interesting set of options...
restricted either to refracta linux or a live distro...and not quite a direct mention as to whether it could be turned to an iso and simply distributed prior to turning it into a live usb distro.

Personally I'm not quite done giving up on lmde...
personally I believe there is still the option of doing what would be most expedient for say...a rolling release like lmde or a distro of one's own choice... like say...linux-live
http://www.linux-live.org/

It will take me some time but looking at the situation ...it looks more than promising
There are many possible tools and there are many many other distros I'm familiar with that I use or haved used which may serve us just as well that I intend to explore for the purposes of the creation of a live medium iso which can contain what is conveniently set up and needed by our community...that will meet most if not all needs and functionality without the worry of it suffering the same fate as the old alternatives did.

edit:
Bingo.
I believe I found something which isn't so old it isn't being maintained anymore or will not work as said consequence of the need for it to be on a single fixed obscure distro (refracta) nor only limited to supported live distros in the 1st place...
and has exactly what is needed...
ubuntu based...perhaps will work on a r.r. like lmde.
http://www.unixmen.com/systemback-re...revious-state/
Will most likely work on more ..."loyal" 'buntu bases ...I'll try it over the next couple of days on lmde. see what happens.
