The man page says that it is a suffix. If the doc is wrong, please fix
the doc to match reality. In live-boot-doc 3.0~b11-1, it is:

       persistence-subtext=SUFFIX
           Add a suffix when searching for the image filenames or par‐
           tition  labels  to  use for the above mentioned persistence
           feature, the SUFFIX will  be  added  after  a  dash  (e.g.:
           "live-sn"  would  transform  to  "live-sn-SUFFIX"). This is
           handy to test multiple live-boot  based  live-systems  with
           different persistence storage choices.
