I started with the same version for both and on the second and
subsequent attempts building the image, the regular user was not
created even if verified in the relevant config/* files. I had to
implement the root hack to be able to use the resulting image by
logging in as root user.

It worked for me. The only problem now is that the resulting image is
not hardware agnostic. But again, this is an issue that reveals the
lack of maturity of Debian Live builder. I'm using scripts in x86
hardware and not in x64 as Juan is doing.
