For me the debian-live config is quite handy testing platform. On a decent system running the mksquashfs for something the size of clonezilla does not take very long. Also running mksquashfs is only required for changes to initscripts, other scripts can be modified directly from the live system and the diffs saved on an USB stick or on network and applied by live-helper on subsequent rebuilds. Changes to initramfs require only running mkinitramfs which is also not too lenghty, especially if you don't need something like mdadm installed. debian-live allows booting from network so you can serve the initramfs and squashfs image from the build directory without the need to build an iso image or burn CDs.
