  Peter, can you make the call if this has a chance of being accepted?
Otherwise Jérémy is wasting his time...

  The commit message should be word-wrapped at +- 75 characters IIRC.

  Was there a problem with sorting this alphabetically?

  usable over NFS or chroot.

  How about:

The directory where the live root filesystem will be
installed. Any changes to this tree are lost.

  Redundant empty line.

  Since it's already in dependencies.sh, this piece is redundant.

  We use 'grep -q' rather than redirecting to /dev/null.

  Maybe, in addition to the mere existence of sudo, you should also
check if it the user is actually in sudoers.  'sudo -l rsync' should
do the trick.
