There is some documentation (besides the source code) [1]:
https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours.en.html#530
You can do the following instead:
lb config
mkdir -p config/includes.chroot/etc/live/config.conf.d
echo "LIVE_USER_FULLNAME=\"This is my custom user fullname\"" >
config/includes.chroot/etc/live/config.conf.d/10-user-setup.conf
lb build
It's a matter of taste where you provide the user fullname:
1) Inside the compressed squashfs -> smallest
2) In the binary image -> configurable when written on USB sticks
3) In the kernel command line -> configurable at every boot
Note that whatever you have set in a configuration file, the user can
still override it with the kernel command line at boot.
A peek at the source file [1] shows you all options that you can
configure there.
With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
