Bug#610337: live-boot: Using live-snapshot.exclude_list without live-snapshot.list results in empty snapshot file

[Csaba Kormendy <ckormendy.dev@gmail.com>]

Package: live-boot
Version: 2.0.11-1
Severity: normal

Using /etc/live-snapshot.exclude_list without /etc/live-snapshot.list results
in empty snapshot file.

To reproduce:

1) Boot system using debian-sq-live-rc1-i386-gnome-desktop.iso from USB flash
device, memory stick, etc.
2) Use boot parameters: initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live config persistent
quickreboot timezone=America/Los_Angeles BOOT_IMAGE=/live/vmlinuz1
3) After booting has completed, enter "sudo live-snapshot" at shell prompt.
4) Copy the resultant live-sn.cpio.gz file to root directory of USB flash
device.
5) Boot system again using the same boot parameters as in step 2.
6) Copy /usr/share/doc/live-boot/examples/live-snapshot.exclude_list to /etc
/live-snapshot.exclude_list.
7) Delete all comments (lines beginning with "#") from /etc/live-
snapshot.exclude_list.
8) Shut down the system and inspect the live-sn.cpio.gz file.

It appears as though using /etc/live-snapshot.exclude_list seems to require
having a /etc/live-snapshot.list file present.
