+As live-boot and live-config are installed by live-build system, installing the packages in the host system is not sufficient: you should treat the generated .deb files like any other custom packages. Since your purpose for building from source is like to test new things over the short term before the official release, follow {Installing modified or third-party packages}#installing-modified-or-third-party-packages to temporarily include the relevant files in your configuration. In particular, notice that both packages are divided into a generic part, a documentation part and one or more back-ends. Include the generic part, only one back-end matching your configuration, and optionally the documentation. Assuming you are building a live image in the current directory and have generated all .deb files for a single version of both packages in the directory above, this would copy all of the relevant packages including default back-ends:

+ $ cp ../live-config{_,-sysvinit,-doc}*.deb config/packages.chroot/
