Comment(by hamish):

 I don't know if it does any harm besides adding unneeded complexity, but
 there's no need to use chroot in making the full.iso, as it doesn't need
 to run anything- the file manifest re-run is not needed, as that only
 records files kept in the dpkg database, and no .deb packages within the
 disc were added or removed in the installer tweak, only to the hold
 system.

 along similar ''does no harm besides adding unneeded complexity'' lines,
 does the script need to be run as a regular user or as root? (are the
 sudos needed?)

 fwiw I'd suggest turning off the progress indicators to improve the signal
 to noise ratio in the logs,
 {{{
 mksquashfs ... -no-progress
 mkisofs ... -quiet
 }}}
 note mksquashfs wants -no-progress as the final option on the command
 line.


 final style critique is to suggest to set $USER_HOME instead of hardcoding
 /home/user as the other scripts. (again no harm to current build)


 thanks,
 Hamish
