OK - so the problem (caused by us) is that our paths to initrd differ 
from the debian defaults.

They're is a plugin for debian-installer-launcher called "live" - 
correcting the path there gets it to run.

We will probably need to build our own version of this package based on 
debian sources - as we need a few changes in it.

Will take a look at that next.
