Bug#783741: memtest fails to load
This bug is still present in the most recent images/xfce-desktop from
live-images (debian branch, commit c93ad8eb) built with live-build 4.0.3-1.
The underlying cause is that the default for "lb config --memtest" was
set to "none" in this live-build commit for live-build 4.x:
commit 157ba674785b2856a56dfe7a0aeff0b11538be35

Setting memtest default to none.
Wheezy is only up to live-build 3.0.5-1 and lacks this change, so
memtest86+ is present in wheezy live images.
Jessie official live images have the memtest86+ isolinux menu options,
but because live-build 4.x defaults to "lb config --memtest none", the
memtest86+ binary is not present in jessie live images.
One solution may be to add "--memtest memtest86+" to auto/config for all
images in live-images on the debian and debian-next branches.
Kind regards,
