wrong, don't touch that file manually, use chroot_sources mechanism.

note that live-helper, any version before 2.0~a2, configures all third 
party repositories directly in /etc/apt/sources.list.

that has the effect, because d-i is re-generating that file during the 
installation process (unrelated if you use live-installer or not), your 
installed system will *not* have the desired sources configured.

you have three alternative possibilities:

  * don't change config tree, but additionally preseed d-i with your
    third party repositories.

  * configure your third party repositories manually through inclusion
    of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ sniplets through chroot_local-includes

  * use live-helper from git.
