Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a7-1
Severity: normal

With --binary-images 'iso usb-hdd', the case dispatch of
"${LH_BINARY_IMAGES}" at

    /usr/share/live-helper/helpers/binary_syslinux:365

fails to match, resulting in line 407 of the same file

    mkdir -p "${KERNEL_PATH}"

attempting to mkdir the empty string.

Maybe --binary-images only supports a single image type at a time?  If
so, this behaviour isn't a bug.  I expected it to support "iso
usb-hdd" only because it's a plural (*images*, not image).

PS: I'd have isolated the problem faster if live-helper's case
dispatches had a fallback clause along the lines of

    *) if test -n "$DEBUGGING_IS_ON"
       then echo >&2 "<magic hash>: Execution probably shouldn't reach this 
point."
       fi;;

...where <magic hash> is a different short string in each case.  Then,
when seeing the problem in lh build --debug, I could have simply
grepped for that magic hash.

Better than a magic hash would be "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}:$LINENO", but
it's a bashism.
