I hope it doesn't mean that we should not try.

No, we are not precedent-driven. I'm sure we will always consider appropriate
response on case-to-case basis.
I believe public statement would be appropriate.
Consider hypothetical situation: suppose there is entirely unsubstantiated
article published somewhere accusing Debian of doing something which is not
true. General public may not know if that's the case and official response to
rumours may be appropriate to clarify situation.
Here we have situation which is not exactly presenting Debian in a best
light. How would it hurt if public statement briefly describe recent changes
in CD/live and express gratitude to Daniel for his past contributions?
IMHO team statement is better than nothing but project statement should be OK
too.

You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can
get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or
ignorance can't lead to a good conclusion.
