You need to place sources.list-like files in config/chroot_sources. The
extensions of the files are important - the .binary or .chroot extension
identify where the list ends up. You should also add a ".gpg" version of
each file too .binary containing the APT key. For example:
config/chroot_sources/debian-multimedia.binary
config/chroot_sources/debian-multimedia.binary.gpg
.. would make sure the contents of debian-multimedia.binary were in the
binary image's sources.list (and the corresponding GPG key imported)

The clean way to perform this to preseed user-setup such that the user
is added to those groups when live-initramfs calls user-setup on boot.

Just set LH_DEBIAN_INSTALLER="live" and make sure you are building lenny
or sid. Adding the udeb is not required anymore.

Personally, I would prefer them to be added to the manual; the wiki
already contains too much information, most of which is outdated or
misleading, etc.

Cool, please file wishlist bugs against live-magic for each of these so
we can work out exactly what we need. Recent versions of live-magic do
have an installer option, btw.
