Even though you can activate persistence at boot time adding the
parametre to the boot command line. I think it is preferable to add
"persistence" to your --bootappend-live parametres. It would look like
this, then:
--bootappend-live "boot=live config
locales=de_AT.UTF-8,de_DE.UTF-8,en_US-UTF8 username=jakob
keyboard-layouts=de persistence"

I do not think the version in experimental is supported and even if it
is, keep in mind that it is an alpha version, so you'd better stick to
either stable or testing. And testing is just about to become stable
So the version in wheezy is alright.
Besides the bug is in debootstrap, nothing to do with live-build, it
affects live-build "indirectly". Using debootstrap version 1.0.47
fixed the issue in my case.

Hopefully the two cases you mentioned in this thread are well covered
in live-manual for the wheezy version of live-build. In order to
customize your bootloader:
http://live.debian.net/manual/3.x/html/live-manual.en.html#560
And in order to use persistence:
http://live.debian.net/manual/3.x/html/live-manual.en.html#529
Your use case might not be covered in the manual, but I think it is
enough to give you some ideas to achieve your goals.
The idea behind live-build is to prepare your configuration beforehand
so that everything is done automatically without any further
manipulation but there are, of course, other ways or "cheap tricks".
For example, in order to modify your syslinux configuration, if you
build an hdd image you can dd it to a usb stick and manipulate the
files under DEBIAN_LIVE/syslinux but again this is not what you want
if you intend to do some serious work with live-build.
So you'd better follow the recommended method, but doing a little
experimentation is always interesting.
Good luck :)
