Here are some notes from my quick initial review (before attempting a
build):
1. Strictly speaking you don't need
config/package-lists/live.list.chroot, as /usr/lib/live/build/config
automatically creates this file and populates it with appropriate
contents (for jessie/sid, exactly what you have in it now).
2. You have debs directly in the config. It's preferable to configure
your image to point at a publicly accessible apt archive containing your
development deb snapshots. Alternatively, during the development cycle
you could make auto/config responsible for populating a local repo
directly from git with metapackages via blends-dev.
3. You have config/includes.binary/isolinux/splash.png and live-images
has config/bootloaders/isolinux/splash.svg. I don't know if this is a
problem. I merely point out the difference.
None of these things should be fatal for the build. Later, I'll have a
look at an actual build using a jessie i386 build host (but with amd64
kernel, so an amd64 image can be produced) and live-build 4.0.3-1. My
personal build host is slow, so this will take a while. :)
