Did you consider issuing an IUK that would only update liveusb-creator
in 1.0.1? It could be published in parallel with Tails 1.1 or a few days
in advance.

The shitty part of this would be the ISO building and testing of that
IUK, but maybe we can find a trick to create an IUK with that upgrade
only, without having to go through the whole RM process.
