If you pass call lh_config with --debian-installer enabled, then
lh_build will later retrieve a kernel (vmlinuz) and initrd.gz, as well
as a number of .udebs.  Then, you can boot the generated image with
"install".  The CD also has a live "session" capability (though there
may be a way to build an installer-only image).

apt-cacher previously didn't allow retrieving the kernel components so
I supplied a patch to allow it to be used while building an installer
image.
