Sounds like a plan.
I tried refractasnapshot on Trios, and the iso wouldn't boot. It hung after "starting scripts/init-bottom" but sooner than it does with Refracta. Right now, I'm trying again after patching /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init (as described in another thread). If it works, I'll post a script and a patch file to make it easy. Then I'll somehow incorporate it into refractasnapshot. Then we can unpin and unhold util-linux.

Trios snapshot boots after patching /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init
This is needed if util-linux-2.25x is installed. It's not needed if util-linux is pinned/held to 2.20x.
patch_init_for_util-lin:
https://gist.github.com/fsmithred/f7e5b18bc93bc74aa5c7
init_for_util-lin.patch
https://gist.github.com/fsmithred/8232aed6b015d16c935a
Copy both files to the same directory, and as root, run 'bash patch_init_for_util-lin'.
Then you can make a snapshot that will boot. I thought it needed 'update-initramfs -u' after the patch, but I forgot to do it, and apparently, it isn't needed.
