1) What you describe (with gnu compilers and manpages) seems work like a 
Developer edition Image more than a Rescue Disk Image.

2) It's true as Roland Clobus says that there are some 
Debian-derivatives doing a good job.
GRML, MXLinux and Rescatux (This is my own project ;) .) are some of them.

3) Rescatux is a Rescue Disk Image with a graphical UI (by design). ( 
https://www.rescatux.org )

3.1) So once I manage to push all of my improvements to Debian 
live-build and live-boot I might be able to work on something similar to 
Rescatux by creating a: live-task-rescue-graphical meta-package.
I plan to upgrade Rescatux so that it's based on Bookworm before 
Bookworm is frozen/released (with the associated patches that I might 
send to improve live-build and live-boot).
So you can discard me providing a live-task-rescue-graphical 
meta-package before Bookwrom is frozen/released.

3.2) Part of live-task-rescue-graphical would be submitting rescapp 
program to Debian so that it's an official package.
I already build myself as a Debian package.

https://github.com/rescatux/rescapp
https://github.com/rescatux/rescapp/tree/v0.57
https://github.com/rescatux/rescapp/tree/v0.57-debian

If anyone is interested on doing this for Bookworm please contact me.

4) If you want to work on a live-task-rescue package please check the 
current package selection for Rescatux just in case it's useful for you:

https://github.com/rescatux/rescatux/blob/v0.74/rescatux_common_packages



Currently I'm focused on adding multi-vendor Secure Boot support for 
Super Grub2 Disk (another of my projects) so it may take a while till I 
interact with you guys regarding live-build and live-boot.
