Yes, we're both talking about the debian installer. I think it's referred
to as the debian live installer when it's included in a live iso, because
it will install the system that's on the live iso.

Ozi got it partially working with isos built with live-sdk. Aitor is
working on it now. It is known to work with live-build (they were made for
each other) so we can fall back to that if necessary.

The jessie live isos were made using live-sdk. I did recently make a
couple of devuan jessie live isos that include the debian installer, but
d-i isn't working with it. I am suggesting that you and I get up to speed
on live build. Between you, me, Ozi and aitor, we should be able to do this.

FWIW, the old unofficial live isos and the latest eudev/openrc iso were
all made with refractasnapshot, which is a hell of a lot easier, but
doesn't include d-i.

I don't have a good link with instructions for d-i. I've read a few, but
I'm not grokking it. Maybe because I've never set up my own package
repository, I'm not understanding what parts go where or come from where.
It might be covered in a part of the live-build manual that I've never read.

This thread might be more appropriate than the one linked previously:
