I've got a booting image, 194MB, by adding the package that provides init.
There are in total 3 packages that contain init:
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=init&mode=exactfilename&suite=stable&arch=any

* runit-init
* systemv-core
* systemd-sysv

The automatic generation of the live-user and auto-login works only for 
'systemd-sysv':

echo "user-setup sudo systemd-sysv" > 
config/package-lists/recommends.list.chroot

I have not investigated whether 'user-setup' or 'sudo' are still 
required, but at least you will be able to get a bootable image.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus

PS: I'm wondering why the live image that you got earlier would be able 
to boot at all...
