Didn't a Mesa crew have some legal problems years ago when an elderly woman died on the taxi-out in PHX with a deferred APU?
???? Forgive my ignorance, but how does an APU deferral prevent your packs from working?

I'm on an E170/175 and in this scenario the engines can supply bleed air to the packs during taxi.

Is the CRJ unable to drive the packs with engine bleed air on the ground?
