non-package software additions, and other modifications

The Live system calls "adduser" during bootup to create the user. To
modify it's behaviour, take a look at /etc/adduser.conf - it has the
functionality you need (ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS and EXTRA_GROUPS, I think).
You would then either override the existing one using
chroot_local-includes or construct a hook that will make the changes you
need directly.

Just place the files in config/chroot_local-includes and they will be
included onto the live filesystem.

You'll probably find the whole thing more straightforward if you use
lh_config to generate a skeleton configuration and then run lh_build just
below the "config/" directory.
