I think that was me using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I simply
built the live-boot, live-build and live-config packages from the git
repositories, using the instructions from the manual.

I then moved the likely looking .debs into position in
packages.chroot, not really having a clue what was needed/would get it
to work and what wouldn't. Now, I might not have got it quite right
and probably included more packages than were actually required or
actually get used, but it worked/works. Here is my lb config to show
I'm not doing anything clever

lb config \
--binary-images hdd \
--archive-areas 'main contrib non-free' \
--mirror-bootstrap http://danny:3142/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ \
--mirror-chroot-security http://danny:3142/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian-security/ \
--mirror-chroot-backports
http://danny:3142/ftp.uk/debian.org/debian-backports/ \
--bootappend-live "hostname=foo username=bobbins persistent"

Hope this helps,
