Hi,
I have set up a build system on Ubuntu 16.04 that works well if I try
to build for Wheezy or Jessie, but that fails if I build for Stretch.
The build fails in the chroot stage after reading the package lists.
Reading package lists...

Hoping for suggestions of what to try next. Right now my only
constraint is that I have to work with Ubuntu 16.04.
To answer my own question. It appears that the live-build tools on
Ubuntu are too old.
I have created a Stretch chroot with debootstrap and installed the
official Stretch live-build package and the problem is gone.
It did confront me with another problem, though, which is that the hooks
that used to live in config/hooks/ now live in config/hooks/normal and
config/hooks/live. This is not something that is immediately obvious,
since most of the online documentation does not mention it.
I had to inspect the source code to find out and then still, a Google
search did not render any results.
I finally found the corrected documentation in the unstable manual at
https://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/unstable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html
