Bug#610337: live-boot: live-snapshot.exclude_list comment problem



There is something about the comments in
/usr/share/doc/live-boot/examples/live-snapshot.exclude_list
that cause a problem for live-snapshot. I end up with an empty live-sn.cpio.gz file if I use the example file verbatim.

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) Shut down the system and inspect the live-sn.cpio.gz file.
