[Bug 1096568] [NEW] usb-creator learns to install standard linux from running linux

[SoloTurn]

Public bug reported:

as usb drives are available at reasonable prices now, they can easy hold
a standard linux, not only a squashed one. it would be great if a
running ubuntu would allow to easy install linux on an usb drive.
currently this is a little tedious via e.g. debootstrap:
