in testing, live-helper will use the standard kernel but the versions of the 
squashfs modules and squashfs-tools are different

when building a lenny Live, if we prefer use squashfs 3.2
then download and compile the package squahsfs-tools from the repository :

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/squashfs/squashfs_3.2r2.orig.tar.gz 
(and two more files)

and copy the package to config/chroot_local_packages

else, also for lenny, if we prefer squashfs 3.3, must use sources for squashfs 
and lzma, build the modules and copy it into config/chroot_local_packages
