Thanks a thousand for your swift respond/fix, mika.

I just tried it, seems that the problem might be further deeper in FAI:

% grml-live-git -c $CLASSES -u -q -n

grml-live-git [0.10.1]: check your configuration (or use -F to force execution):

  FAI classes:       DEPEN_2DESK,RELEASE
  Local config:      /etc/grml/grml-live.local
  main directory:    /dev/shm/gl

  Build target:      /dev/shm/gl/grml_cd
  ISO target:        /lfs/cache12/systems/distros
  Grml name:         grml
  Release name:      depen_rocks

  Debian suite:      sid

Is this ok for you? [y/N] y
