They should do, yes. live-wrapper is the tool to use, and it depends
on vmdebootstrap etc. underneath. From the code used to build our
weekly images (see [1] for context):

lwr $OPTS --architecture $ARCH \
    -d $CODENAME \
    --isolinux \
    --grub \
    --log stderr \
    --installer ${INSTALLER_VERSION} \
    -t live-task-${BUILD} -f "${FIRMWARE_PKGS}" \
    --base_debs "${BASE_DEBS}" \
    --description "${DESCRIPTION}" \
    --volume_id "${VOLID}" \
    --image_output ${NAME}.iso
