reopen 659199
found 659199 3.0~a43-1
close 659199 3.0~a44-1
thanks

the problem is that dh_link does convert absolute symlinks to relative
symlinks. bootloader configs in /usr/share/live/build/bootloaders rely
on being absolute symlinks, otherwise chrooted builds would not work
without tainting the target system with files from the host system. i
haven't experienced this myself first because i have not been using lb
from .debs but from git where the symlinks where absolute.

this has been fixed in 3.0~a44-1 by workarounding dh_link.

It has been uploaded to unstable:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/live-build.html

As usual, wait until it appears at your archive mirror. You should have
no problem installing the unstable version of the package on wheezy (or
else you can just wait until it migrates from unstable -> testing, but
that takes the usual delay for migrations).
