again, the user is created while runtime of the image, not at build-time.

same here.

this is because you're building unstable, and unstable has a fucked
squashfs module package (it is existing, but empty because of a
regression in the squashfs-source makefile).

it's a list for everyone, not a developers list. however.. the working
solution is, to build a lenny based image and include user-setup package
from sid (by wget'int the .deb and putting it into
chroot/config_local-packages).

yep; this is because it provides a .udeb.
