Hi,
This is caused by steps in the binary stage (*after* the chroot_hooks stage) that install some packages in the chroot. The solution is to pass the option "--apt-indices false" to "lb config", this will effectively clear the /var/lib/apt/lists directory in the final image (tested with live-build version 1:20191221). For our builds, passing this option reduced the final squashfs image by about 40MB. I believe this bug can be closed.
