Now i can remember the issue: some script in the vdev.install file trying
to detect if dev-assisntant is running or not, the "ps" throws an empty
output even being it running. So, i used this behaviour in the
dev-assistant script; that is if the output of the "ps" command is empty it
means that we are in the chroot jail of the live-sdk and debconf will not
ask anything to the user going ahead with the instalation of vdev/udev/eudev.

Hope this helps,

Aitor.
