There is no --mirror-bootstrap-security option. This was (it is
corrected in git) a left-over from the rename of --mirror-bootstrap* to
--mirror-chroot*.

 Also, it would be nice to have some clarification what the various
 --mirror-foo options mean; what is --mirror-bootstrap as opposed to
 --mirror-chroot as opposed to --mirror-binary?  As I read it:
 * -bootstrap is for fetching the small set of initial packages
 * -chroot is for fetching everything specified by the user with
 --packages-lists and --packages
 * -binary is for what ends up on the live-image.
 Is this a correct interpretation?

it's almost too easy to explain:

lh_bootstrap* uses --mirror-bootstrap
lh_chroot* uses --mirror-chroot*
lh_binary* uses --mirror-binary*

:)

if LH_BINARY_INDICES=enabled, then --mirror-binary* is what is ending up
in the binary image(s).

 ... and then it goes on to fetch 26MB packages from ftp.us.debian.org
 instead of from the (much faster) local proxy.  Later packages, too,
 also go directly to debian.org instead of locally.

this is a temporary bug in git tree only. if you use the current release
(1.0~a42), everything is fine.

 I haven't changed anything, but I did update live-helper in the past
 few days.  Did something change?

not wrt/ indices handling, but with config handling (only in git). same
with the other settings, as this is caused by the same config handling bug.

  git is fixed again. please retry.
Downloaded and trying now.  It appears to be working; packages are
being fetched from the local proxy instead of remotely.

Incidentally, is there a faster mirror for the live-helper git
packages available?  I'm on a hundred-megabit internet connection, and
still I get this:
Fetched 1880kB in 6min0s (5218B/s)
which brings back memories of 1996.  If there isn't one available,
would it be possible to set one up?  I could set up a box to download
the latest git tree and build a package out of it every few minutes,
or something to that effect.

Thanks for the quick fix!
Will

Something also appears to be broken with the definition of the
LH_LINUX_PACKAGES variable; watching with 'sh -x' I see:
...

aufs-modules-2.6-686 squashfs-modules-2.6-686 as an argument to
lh_config does not help this.  I think perhaps the default
configuration values are being processed with higher priority than
they ought, so that my configuration is being overridden.  Here is the
lh_config I am running:
MKSQUASHFS_OPTIONS=-noI -no-progress lh_config -b usb-hdd \

Any obvious problems?  This has worked until recently, so I'd be
somewhat surprised to hear it, but stranger things have been known to
happen.
