That's an intentional effect of the "none" setting.
To see why, run vanilla "lh_config" then read config/chroot (and
config/!(chroot) for good measure).

-d sid probably makes much more sense. In particular it will use
live-initramfs instead of casper (about this I know nothing more,
though).

That's due to missing squashfs and unionfs/aufs. You have to compile
the modules yourself if you're not using a standard kernel. Note some
previous thread messages which document how the kernel image has to be
named. In particular, "the argument to --linux-flavors must be the
same as the make-kpkg option --append-to-version but without the
leading hyphen character."
