Bug#760867: live-build: scripts/live missing in initrd - live-* missing in chroot

[Philipp Huebner <debalance@debian.org>]

Package: live-build
Version: 4.0.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I lost quite some time trying to get a working netboot image with
live-build. As it turns out, the chroot is missing all the live-*
packages and the initrd gets build without scripts/live from the
live-boot-initramfs-tools and thus fails to boot with a kernel panic.

I can reproduce this any time on any sid system, simply run
lh config -b netboot; sudo lh build
The results are as described above.

The following workaround fixes the problems:
echo "live-boot live-boot-doc live-boot-initramfs-tools live-config
live-config-doc live-tools" > config/package-lists/livetools.list.chroot

According to the docs, this shouldn't be necessary / happen
automatically.

Regards,
Philipp
