I don't understand why you would need to manually install xorriso, as it
is a dependency of debian-cd, which is a dependency of
simple-cdd... unless you were merely running from a git checkout, or
maybe genisoimage was installed, as debian-cd allows that as an
alternative to xorriso.

It is only a tool to generate debian-installer CDs.

For live images, you might look at live-wrapper and vmdebootstrap, which
I believe is what's used to generate Debian's official live images.


live well,
