If anyone is interested, the reason that the "manually install all

Ah, I don't think apt-pinning works on virtual packages. Maybe a
chroot hook script then.

This is affecting me too. FYI, you can test serial support for a live image
with something like:
$ qemu -hda binary.img -serial stdio
Serial console then appears on the command line.

gotten anywhere. Any tips on where
I've attached a hacky little sed script that Works For Me (goes in

Okay, it seems that if I use the two options "persistent" and

I've dropped the idea of using persistence for this, and just done

It doesn't work anyway, I'm still not authorised to mount disks using

Do either of 4.x/5.x support UEFI booting? There's an open bug about it

I've been trying to create a Debian live image that will boot via UEFI, but
haven't been able to do so. My live-build host VM runs Debian 9 (stretch),

The config structure I'm using is here:

Okay, after clearing caches, cleaning up env vars, etc. I'm able to
