Thanks for your report.

This is still an issue is Lucid, I'm unable to test in maverick right now, but I suspect it's still a problem since casper is the same version, and no change related to this issue appears in the changelog of live-initramfs

Adding a casper task.

This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.237

---------------
casper (1.237) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add btrfs support.
  * Make ip=* command-line parsing more precise (thanks, Bill Nickless;
    LP: #586553).
  * Make the USB update-initramfs shim cope with vmlinuz and initrd.img
    being in /boot rather than / (LP: #591207).
  * Depend on file for /etc/init.d/casper (thanks, Alon Swartz;
    LP: #591213).
  * Conflict with live-initramfs, as they overlap and people can pick one or
    the other (LP: #453476).

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/casper.init: Change shutdown splash message to refer to
    "installation media" instead of "disc"; a lot of installs happen
    from USB sticks these days. Thanks to Debbie Beliveau for the idea.
