Keeping the kernel out of the squashfs

[Juergen Fiedler <juergen.fiedler@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have asked this question quite a while ago: How do I keep kernel and
module files out of  the main squashfs?
For the longest time, the answer I got back then worked very nicely
for me - a config/binary_rootfs/excludes that looks like this:

-------
/initrd.img*
/vmlinuz*
/boot/*
-------

In recent versions of live-helper (I am using 1.0.5+20091101), this
doesn't seem to work any more.
The contents of said file are actually deleted from the chroot, which
interferes with lh_binary_linux-image.
Is there any other relatively simple way to keep the kernel out of the
live file system?

Thank you,
