debootstrap lenny lenny http://ftp.debian.org/debian
chroot lenny
apt-get install live-helper squashfs-tools syslinux ...
lh config --chroot-build false && lh build

note that the initial chroot can be re-used, but it needs to be made 
sure, that 1. it's always updated before building an image, and 2. that 
it matches the target distribution (e.g. building lenny from a lenny 
chroot, or sid from a sid chroot; otherwise you'll have not the matching 
auxiliary packages and the image will not boot (squashfs version 
mismatch, for one)).
