Unfortunately, it does not work like that. The live team does *not*
produce live images out of the official debian installation CD's/DVD's
or any other media. The live team maintains the tools that allow you
to build live systems based on/using the debian/debian-like archives.
The live tools themselves are part of those debian archives:
live-boot, live-config, live-build, live-manual, live-images and
live-tools.

Good to know! So far debian live images didn't work fine with
unetbootin. It is good news if they do now :)
And of course you can include an installer in your live images if you
wish to do so.

As far as I know, the available live images are currently built by the
debian-cd team. They are not, as of now, offering testing images but
fortunately, you have several choices to choose from:
Option number 1: Build the images yourself. Install live-build on your
system and create a configuration with all the options and packages
you wish to have installed on your live system. If you do not want to
bother creating a configuration from scratch, you can use one of the
configurations included in the live-images package.
Option number 2: Visit the online builder and select "jessie" which is
the current testing suite:
http://cgi.build.live-systems.org/cgi-bin/live-build
For both options, you can read the necessary documentation in a
package called live-manual.
