etch problems: auto LH_INITRAMFS, \${LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM}, lh_clean



Hi

I started working with debian-live on Etch again, and as usual wasted a
number of days just to get it built properly.

Bugs encontered:

1. lh_build can run wild and (if left alone) force you to reboot the
   build system due to over-swapping.

  Fix: handle lh_build --usage.

2. If LH_INITRAMFS is not set in the configuration files, the build will
   fail (somewhere at lh_binary, due to DESTDIR being undefined).
 
3. Unionfs modules would not install and thus the unionfs mount fails.

                then

Note that defaults.sh guarantees somewhere above that part that 
LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM is set. Is the above a hook to override it later?

4. (minor issue) All the text screens of syslinux are now terminated
with a newline. This seems to break the original intention of the text
there, that uses the word "Boot:" of syslinux as part of the sentence. 

The one of f3 has an extra line.
