Sorry, can't help you with Lubi (looks cool, though).  However, there 
are lots of other ways to create a bootable image file from an ISO, for 
example with qemu:

#Create the image file - file size will start small and grow as space is 
used

qemu-image create -f qcow2 ubuntu.img 5G

#Run qemu with ISO attached as virtual CDROM

qemu -hda ubuntu.img -cdrom ubuntu.iso

For faster performance, see the Debian wiki on setting up acceleration 
for qemu/kvm:
