Thanks for spotting this.

I took grml-live_0.31.0+0~20170907073759.330~1.gbp7f38fb_all.deb from
jenkins, and that one, invoked from within grml, fails pretty fast:

#                                                                              root at grml ~ # grml-live -V -e /dev/cdrom -o output/

grml-live [0.31.0+0~20170907073759.330~1.gbp7f38fb]: check your configuration (or use -F to force execution):

  Build target:      /root/output/grml_cd
  ISO target:        /root/output/grml_isos
  Grml name:         grml
  Release name:      grml-live rocks

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

Is this a missing dependency, or am I supposed to give fai classes even
when rebuilding the actual ISO?
