It basically means nobody adapted it:
http://live.debian.net/gitweb?p=live-build.git;a=blob;f=functions/defaults.sh;h=b1efd6b8799fc883b3e9c8a95a9c950d7c4ce3af;hb=HEAD#l832
If you feel like doing it, go ahead. "Fixing that part in defaults.sh
should be simple. But then again, how does a live image for a lemote
system look like? Will grub work? If so, maybe simply fixing
scripts/build/lb_binary_grub2 will do the trick. Anyway, you'll probably
need to focus on the lb_binary* scripts.
The right place to ask about this is the debian-live list (or IRC
channel, or whatever).
http://live.debian.net/
http://live.debian.net/devel/live-build/
Note that Squeeze has live-build 2.x and development is of live-build
3.x, which has many changes.
