That's the version currently in wheezy. As discussed earlier, it is
planned to have a freeze exception made for the one in sid. Please use
that one instead. Please also read http://live.debian.net/manual-3.x as
quite a number of changes have been made. Particularly, package lists
are no longer supported in 3.x. Use metapackages instead.

live-build 3.0~a65-1 is current in sid and is the best version to use,
and the only one we will support going forward. Also, unless you use the
task-lxde-desktop metapackage (as the standard lxde live images will)
but only want a subset of the full lxde desktop, you'll need to pull in
the lxde metapackage from sid (see live-manual APT pinning section of
live-manual).

The wheezy distribution is a moving target. We have no control over the
rate at which other packages migrate into it. As I said, gdm3's
dependencies on more and more stuff has gradually worsened throughout
the wheezy release cycle. I suppose some additional material migrated
into wheezy that depends on even more than before. Though that is not
specifically a live issue, but reflects changes in the archives as a whole.
