Well, again, let's separate two things: the build system (where the live 
system is built on), and the resulting live system itself.

The build system just needs, as said before, two things: live-package 
and a recent enough cdebootstrap (>= 0.3.10). The rest of the depends of 
live-package are already satisfied within stable, and cdebootstrap can 
be installed from backports.org, and live-package can be just installed 
from sid (it's just a shell script, so no worries). That means: the 
build system can be stable, testing, or unstable, it just doesn't matter.

The live system is built on the build system in a chroot. In this 
chroot, atm, only unstable can be installed because some modules just 
entered last week into testing, so with an slightly updated live-package 
which will follow today or tomorrow, we will be able to built live 
systems based on testing too. That means, for now: You don't need to 
care about the distribution, the live system (not the build system) will 
always be unstable.

Hope that helps, finally.
