If you want to test it, debuild will create a package to install on a Debian
Live,
debuild -us -uc -b
In this version is essential to create a live.conf with all the variable
values needed,
take care with that because default values for some important variables are
not assumed internally, i.e. persistent
if someone is interested, I can post an updated file with some minor changes
and fixes,
