Thank you for your interest.
The only point where I got stuck for a while was the repository <https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-images>. It took me some time to realize that this is actually outdated and specific base installations are available via the »task« packages instead. So, if there is no reason to keep that repository, IMHO it would ease understanding to archive that.
You can take a look at https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleInstalls/LiveImages, to see how the images are generated for Debian. It uses the 'rebuild.sh' script from the git repository. The 'live-images' repository is indeed old/outdated, but eventually the strategy to use the 'auto' might be reinstated. I've updated the description. If you are experimenting, I suggest that you use 'live-build' from the git repository, that is the most recent version. With kind regards, Roland Clobus
