Do I understand it correctly that I only need the live-boot,

suitable kernel), to enable “boot=live” mode on an otherwise
sane Debian Wheezy install?

yes.

I vaguely recall that there was a kernel command line option for
the “live” initramfs to use live-media-path= as the root
directory (subject to aufs, of course), instead of searching for
filesystem.*.

either

  * you boot with 'boot=live' and 'config' only, and your filesystem
    gets automatically found if it's on a device in the form of
    /live/filesystem.{squashfs,dir,$whatever}

or

  * you boot with 'boot=live', 'config', 'plainroot', and 'live-media='
   (or 'root=', or something else, don't know off hand but man live-boot
   will tell which you need to specify the block device).
