Do I understand it correctly that I only need the live-boot,

suitable kernel), to enable “boot=live” mode on an otherwise
sane Debian Wheezy install?
yes.
I vaguely recall that there was a kernel command line option for
the “live” initramfs to use live-media-path= as the root
directory (subject to aufs, of course), instead of searching for
filesystem.*.
either
* you boot with 'boot=live' and 'config' only, and your filesystem
gets automatically found if it's on a device in the form of
/live/filesystem.{squashfs,dir,$whatever}
or
* you boot with 'boot=live', 'config', 'plainroot', and 'live-media='
(or 'root=', or something else, don't know off hand but man live-boot
will tell which you need to specify the block device).
