Actually not quite enough: the local copy with IMAGE_ID et al. also needs to be deleted by the installer and replaced with a symlink when copying to a persistent, writable rootfs as well. Is that code that copies the rootfs in live-build or elsewhere?
Both Calamares and d-i use rsync to copy the content of filesystem.squashfs to the installed system.
For forky (and hotfixing point releases) it would be possible to create this diversion (or alternative) in a specifically crafted package (e.g. live-hotfix-os-release) which could then be uninstalled in the final steps of the installation (which currently already removes many live-related packages).
With kind regards, Roland Clobus
