Not an idea that I would back. I think the current live-build in
unstable is a very significant improvement over the squeeze version. If
you like live-build and want to see it survive, continue using it, and
help improve the current version.
However, as Iain said, it just happens to be more complex than the
Debian CD team needs to build the official Debian live images. That's
not to say there's no value in live-build. It's just not the tool they need.

A copy of the latest version from unstable is available at:
http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/html/live-manual.en.html
Or you can install the version of live-manual that matches the version
of live-build you are using (i.e. the one in your Debian release).

No fear. We are working to ensure it will continue to have one. It's
just that this is not dependent on the future development of live-build.
