My apologies, it did not occur to me that the additional CC would cause
such an issue. Normally I would not add it, but I initially was just
writing to the list, not submitting as a bug, changed my mind, and then
left the list as a CC instead of removing. I'll remove it in future.

I see, okay. So how is that done exactly?
Looking at the disk contents generated by live build, none of the .disk
files mention the release type (except the info file, but that seems to
just be a text description). These files seem essentially identical to
those in an official Wheezy image. Is an additional file necessary here
for this to work correctly though, which live-build is failing to
generate?
/dists contains a sid subdirectory (additionally with symlinks named
stable, testing and unstable pointing to it). Within this there is a
release file (dists/sid/Release) specifying codename sid. Furthermore
there's dists/sid/main/binary-amd64 which specifies 'archive: unstable'.
I presume none of these are what is looked at.
