You've got --packages-lists for big lists in
/usr/share/live-helper/lists/* and --packages to add individual
packages. Likewise you have ./config/chroot_local-packages{,lists} to
put your own .debs and define your own lists respectively.
If you want to install everything in one of the distributed lists
minus a copy packages, you might put a modified copy in
chroot_local-packageslists.
If you use aptitude, it *might* work to suffix the package names with
a "-" or a "_" but I'm not sure and it's prolly not guaranteed to
continue working in the future, either.

I don't think there's any way to start an installer from the live
session. However you can build with --debian-installer enabled
--debian-installer-daily enabled and boot with "install".
Or you can boot to a live session and use the debootstrap install
"method" documented in the install manual.
