i suggest you create your own on based on the progress one, or wait for
the embedding of the theme files in live-build.

daniel@debian:/srv/vcs/debian-live/live-build$ grep -c LB_DERIVATIVE

the actual live part will be smaller than the debian default images,
however, for progress mode, d-i is installed by default as well. you
might want to disable d-i inclusion.

put it into the correct location. if you use a28 or newer, it's
config/archives/foo.{,chroot,binary}.key

this is normal. when the image is built, the files are not taken from
the host system but from the 'auxilliary' chroot, where package is first
installed, files are copied to the binary image, and then deinstalled again.

derivatives in hurry results in unmaintable and unsustainable crap of
which there is already enough out there.
