As far as I understand, that's what the settings LH_MIRROR_* in
config/bootstrap are for:
LH_MIRROR_BOOTSTRAP # to bootstrap the build
LH_MIRROR_CHROOT
LH_MIRROR_CHROOT_SECURITY # to acutally load the packages during build
LH_MIRROR_BINARY
LH_MIRROR_BINARY_SECURITY # what the built system refers to (i.e. its
# sources.list)
Please someone correct me if I'm way off :-)

The live user gets added at boot time of the live system (*not* at build
time). This surprised me too :-)
So to add it to some groups, you'll have to hook into that. Possibly
you'll have to (programmatically) modify the adduser script in the
target's system initramfs, as in the second recipe in the FAQ:
<http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/FAQ#head-5bb88fb88b407750f2f8ca0c02ca59b18e163bca>
Looks a bit scary ;-)
Maybe some hook script would be nice here? Why is the live user
generated so late in the process (i.e. at boot time instead of at build
time)?
Don't know about your third question.
