Hi Julien,

I must admit that this is above my level of knowledge, but I will try to 
look for some clues ...

Are you trying to create 14.04.5 with the trusty kernel?

mini-14.04.1.iso has the trusty kernel 3.13.0-92, which is written in 
the beginning of your dump:

---
RUN: /usr/share/launchpad-buildd/slavebin/slave-prep ['slave-prep']
Forking launchpad-buildd slave process...
Kernel version: Linux lcy01-11 3.13.0-92-generic #139-Ubuntu SMP Tue
Jun 28 20:42:26 UTC 2016 x86_64
---

mini-14.04.5.iso has the xenial kernel 4.4.0-31.

Maybe something is incompatible between 14.04.1 and 14.04.5?

On the other hand, I could install both Lubuntu point versions from the 
two mini.iso files.

If you do the work from a host system running Xenial, maybe it would 
work better. See also the information about the LTS enablement stacks of 
the point releases,

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack

that might give some clue about what may go wrong.

Best regards
Nio
