Just to clarify, when using a multiple schema is when the problem really
shows up, but even with a "all-in-one" schema, fstab is empty. There
aren't any aparent problems on boot because initramfs-tools (or
initscripts) mounts the root filesystem. But still the fstab is empty
and it will not find swap, for example.

That would be good. Maybe live-build should also use fstab.d instead of
overwriting what partman wrote with an empty one by default. It breaks
any partitioning preseed and any encryption chosen in partman.
If a live-build user wants an empty (or not) fstab he/she can add it in
the includes.chroot, even using fstab.d, but live-build "forcing" an
empty fstab if the user don't include one is a problem.
