Hi,

backend/initramfs-tools/live.hook tries to include the "overlayfs"
kernel module in the initramfs. However, that module is called
"overlay", so it's never included, and then booting with the
union=overlayfs parameter can't work out-of-the-box.

I've fixed this in the bugfix/overlay-module branch at
https://git-tails.immerda.ch/live-boot => please review and merge :)

Once Linux 3.18+ reaches sid, with only overlayfs support and no more
aufs, Debian Live systems who want/need to ship a kernel newer than
the one from Jessie will need to use overlayfs, so it would be good if
live-boot in Jessie supported it. I'll let the maintainer judge.

Cheers,
