I am a live-helper newbie, but I do it like this:

First put the options as parameters to lh_config in a bash script, which also issues lh_build

---------------------------- bash script to configure and build ---------

mkdir -p debian-live
cd debian-live
sudo lh_clean
lh_config -b usb-hdd \
 --apt-recommends disabled --categories="main contrib non-free" \
 --bootappend-live "locale=sv_SE.UTF-8 keyb=se-latin1" \
 --linux-flavours "686" \
 --mirror-bootstrap "http://localhost:3142/ftp.se.debian.org/debian/"; \
 --mirror-chroot "http://localhost:3142/ftp.se.debian.org/debian/"; \
 --mirror-binary "http://localhost:3142/ftp.se.debian.org/debian/"; \
 --mirror-binary-security "http://localhost:3142/security.debian.org"; \
 -p my-packages

# Choose packages to install
echo "#include <standard-x11>" >                  config/chroot_local-packageslists/my-packages
echo "#include <kde>" >>                          config/chroot_local-packageslists/my-packages

# more customization here, if needed

sudo lh_build
-------------- end of the configure and build script ---------------

Then run this script like this

rm -rf config/ && bash bin/aa1 2>&1 | tee build.log
