Good news:
Some of the bug you found are now fixed in my alioth's git repository, most of
these commits are already merged in debian-live's git repository too or are in
the way to me merged.
The code wrote seemed to work at first test, but I plan to rewrite a lot of it
since it is slow and ugly as hell. Anyway it is much better than it was
before.

Figured both, they were both bugs now fixed and merged.

Separated the discovery part from the usage part, as you suggested.

Fixed the /etc/host and /etc/fstab handling, which "en-passant" fixes also
modifying these files at build time, which is now preserved.

An exclude pattern in not there yet but I'm trying to spot all unnecessary
appends and kill them down.

You could now try to build a live-initramfs from my git repo and report
problems.

Done :-)
