The files are generated in one of the final steps before the
squashfs file will be generated, it should catch what will be
shipped by the ISO then.

> JavaScript library

Check out "apt-cache rdepends libmozjs2d" and if that doesn't help
yet check out debtree -> http://collab-maint.alioth.debian.org/debtree/

Regarding the logs, be aware of:

# ls ~log/fai/*/last*
/var/log/fai/grml/last@  /var/log/fai/grml/last-dirinstall@ /var/log/fai/grml/last-softupdate@

In /usr/share/doc/grml-docs/packages/dpkg_list inside the chroot/ISO
you should have the final version.

Wild guess: might be because you don't provide debconf preseeding
for accepting the license of the sun java package.
