When are dpkg.list & dpkg.selections generated, before chroot installation or after it?
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.
I bumped into a strange problem that grml-live is installing packages not in the dpkg.list & dpkg.selections -- I "thought" that I remove all java packages from my source package list, then "confirmed" that with the following:
$ grep -i java /var/log/fai/depen/last/dpkg.selections || echo no found no found
$ grep -i java /var/log/fai/depen/last/dpkg.list ii libmozjs2d 1.9.1.11-1 The Mozilla SpiderMonkey 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.
However, grml-live still failed because of java packages:
$ grep -i java /var/log/fai/depen/last/software.log iso-codes{a} java-common{a} jed jed-common{a} keyboard-configuration{a} sendmail-bin sendmail-cf sensible-mda slsh{a} strace sun-java6-bin{a} sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre{a} synergy tcl tcl8.4{a} telnet tftp tk

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