I have been meaning to improve that chapter for some time. Especially
the last paragraph:
http://live.debian.net/manual/current/html/live-manual.en.html#613
which would benefit from a longer explanation. But it was a last
minute modification so it is in a poor state. I've got it in my todo
and I hope I'll be able to explain it better someday.

You want to take a look at the binary_syslinux script. You'll
understand it better:
http://live-systems.org/gitweb/?p=live-build.git;a=blob;f=scripts/build/binary_syslinux;h=4cb18b00d995d50c6213e8d1175d54761f9ff13d;hb=HEAD

Usually the splash.svg is converted into an splash.png file:
Chroot chroot "rsvg-convert --format png --height 480 --width 640
splash.svg -o splash.png"
I hope this helps.
