Ah, thanks. The MIRROR_DIRECTORY is outside chroot, correct? Will it get wiped when building the iso?
Yes, it's just "mount --bind"-ed into the chroot und unmounted of course when building the ISO. No files will be deleted from the mirror of course, it's used just like a normal Debian mirror and accessed via apt-get/aptitude. :)
Great, that's exactly what I thought things would work. One further question, in this case, Do I also need to set MIRROR_SOURCES as well? I think one MIRROR_DIRECTORY var would be enough for bind mount to work.
Yes, currently you have to specify MIRROR_SOURCES as well. Just check out /etc/grml/grml-live.conf which provides example lines for you. (I didn't want to put too much effort into it because I'd like to merge that feature with main FAI for the future.)
