The defaults.conf says:
# Automatic login, if true the first local screen will automatically logged in
# as user as set with AutomaticLogin key.
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLogin=
The debian-live user is "user". This user will be automatically logged in.

Again, defaults.conf says:
# Timed login, useful for kiosks. Log in a certain user after a certain amount
# of time.
TimedLoginEnable=false
TimedLogin=
TimedLoginDelay=30
I am not sure about the relationship between this and the prior setting.
Perhaps the AutomaticLoginEnable governs the initial login after booting
the livecd, and the TimedLoginEnable governs logging in again after
loging out. I suppose it would not be too difficult to test this to
find out, if you would like to try.
