You are misusing the --linux-packages option which is only to specify kernel and kernel modules. See live-manual and use package lists instead.

Package: live-build

I configure with:
lb config --debian-installer live -d stretch --archive-areas main contrib non-free upstream restricted --linux-packages `dpkg-query -f '${binary:Package}\n' -W`
This configures the target for the same packages as those installed on the build host. It seems to correctly configure:
P: Creating config tree for a debian/stretch/amd64 system
P: Symlinking hooks...
Now whenever a build (lb build) is attempted it fails in the same way.
The build chugs along retrieving/verifying/unpacking packages. So far so good.
But the build eventually fails with:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

[2016-12-31 14:30:15] lb chroot_install-packages install
P: Begin installing packages (install pass)...

Note E: Unable to locate package a2ps-amd64
a2ps happens to be the first package in my package list. It doesn't matter which package is first - the build appends the suffix "-amd64" to create an illegal package name (no such package exists). As there are no options for either "lb config" or "lb build" which affect this behavior I'm concluding this is a bug. I've scoured all the documentation such as
https://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/stable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html
and spent hours googling for answers or workarounds without success. Please advise.
