I wrote my tests in the MR:
bin/vm-start -a amd64 -t live -r bookworm -o vm_config
bin/run-live-build-binary -B BL_amd64_smallest-build -r bookworm -c 
vm_config -l mylog
bin/run-live-build-binary -B BL_arm64_smallest-build -r bookworm -c 
vm_config -l mylog
bin/vm-stop -c vm_config

Now I see that I was missing 2 points, with regard to the installer:
1) I was building 'smallest-build', instead of 'standard', which means 
that no installer will be included in the build.
2) I was targeting bookworm, while I should be targeting trixie -> the 
d-i was taken from the archive, instead of being built from git.

I'm currently running
bin/run-live-build-binary -B BL_arm64_standard -r trixie -c vm_config -l 
mylog
which will take a while to build. Then I'll be able to provide a fix. 
I'll test that with the GNOME image afterwards.

Sorry for the confusion. So this Monday there will not be an arm64 GNOME 
live image yet.
If you want, you could change the invocation [1] for the time being from 
'BL_arm64_gnome' to 'BL_arm64_smallest-build', which will generate a 
working, albeit very minimal arm64 live image. (At least that will show 
as a proof-of-concept that everything else is in place and working as 
intended)

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
