Bug#744856: live-build produces unbootable "wheezy" image

[Denys Gavrysh <deg@ciklum.com>]

Package: live-build
Version: 4.0~alpha33-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to assemble basic Debian 7 "wheezy" iso according to the Live Manual:
http://live.debian.net/manual/unstable/html/live-manual/the-basics.en.html#174

I have no confinguration files in place, just do this:

$ lb config --distribution wheezy
$ sudo lb build

The image was built successfully, but after I've boot it up, I got on my screen:

Loading, please wait...
/init: .: line 220: can't open '/scripts/live'
[    0.922446] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[    0.922755] Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 Debian 3.2.54-2
[    0.923088] Call Trace:

It seems that resulting image doen't contain necessary packages to configure a
live system during the boot, such as:

live-boot
live-boot-initramfs-tools
live-config
live-config-sysvinit
live-tools

Why so?

Exactly the same approach with live-build versions 3.x installed creates a
completely working image.
