Images created without pulling in from 'updates' and 'security' repos. This leaves images very out of date. Images should have all the latest packages. Regards Phil
In linuxcnc's stretch image, I compensate for this in customise.sh by adding an
additional list within sources.list.d before the first packages:
cat > ${rootdir}/etc/apt/sources.list.d/updates.list <<EOF
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
EOF
and also I add a step where I
chroot ${rootdir} apt-get -y dist-upgrade
to upgrade any packages that had been installed previously by
vmdebootstrap.

Yes, it's the obvious workaround. As discussed with Phil in IRC, on a system installed from the live images updates and security are enabled appropriately so they're fine. I'm not sure of the best approach for *live* live images - will people be massively annoyed by the system stopping and demanding security updates as it boots?
It would be annoying and make more harm than good - thinking of kernel updates, systemd updates and such things. It would mean that these updates has to be persistant and in case of kernel updates the system has to be rebooted into the new kernel - for running services they have to be restarted etc. This might be possible with USB sticks - but what about optical devices?
