Looking at f8t3, it doesn't appear that livecd-iso-to-disk is on the 
desktop livecd.  Perhaps an alternate solution would be to split 
livecd-iso-to-disk away from livecd-tools, and have it in the desktop 
livecd.  While also putting it in the F7 updates repo.  I think the 
f8/git version of l-i-t-d already works without your patch, for both f7 
and f8 LiveISOs.
