Something else that you might be interested in is live helper at
http://live.debian.net/manual/ .  Live helper is a set of tools to
standardize and automate creating live CDs and USBs.  They are doing
some interesting work using grub and normal filesystems rather than
casper and the squashfs and usb base memory devices.  I did not have
luck getting it to work yet in lucid, but it looks promising.
