Further to this: if you are dealing with Debian-live images as your base,
use Debian tools. If you're dealing with Ubuntu images use Ubuntu-based
PPAs. In general, they really don't mix - to the extent that there's
a whole section on the Debian wiki to this effect.

The number of people working on Debian-live images at any one time is
small: if you can't raise anyone, then I might also suggest having
a chat with Roland Clobus who is working on making live images
work reproducibly with the Reproducible build project.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive
I see you're already contributing on the debian-live mailing list
so should find the appropriate people there. highvoltage, of course,
is also the Debian Project leader so is very busy with everything
else and not necessarily debian-live build problems.
