The live CD and installed environment are in general almost identical;
neither of them currently includes udftools.

There is apparently more to this functionality than having udftools
installed; the appropriate devices must be configured in
/etc/default/udftools (according to the package itself).

I'm not very familiar with packet writing, so if I have misunderstood,
please let me know.
