Bug#738118: live-config: Error while executing /lib/live/config/* script (e.g. due bad timezone) prevents all subsequent scripts from getting run

[Daniel Dickinson <debian@cshore.neomailbox.net>]

Package: live-config
Version: 3.0.23-1
Severity: normal

I set timezone=Canada/Eastern (since in some cases that is a valid timezone) however for debconf this is not a valid timezone which caused 0070-tzdata to fail.

Due to this failure no script after 0070-tzdata was executed because apparently live-config aborts on any script having an error (which for unsanitized input failures is rather unfortunate).
