After noticing /var/lib/dpkg/info/live-installer.postinst and seeing it has the crucial step commented out I think the source of the issue is now identified.

live-installer debian/live-installer.postinst:

waypoint 1 check_target
waypoint 1 get_mirror_info
waypoint 100 install_live_system
waypoint 1 pre_install_hooks
#waypoint 1 setup_dev
waypoint 1 configure_apt_preferences
waypoint 1 configure_apt
waypoint 3 apt_update
waypoint 5 post_install_hooks
waypoint 1 pick_kernel_if_missing
waypoint 20 install_kernel

The question is, is live-installer in control here, or base-installer? The syslog messages indicate base-installer but there's no sign of its postinst script in the running installer.
