Here is the command I used to generate the configuration (with Live-helper 
1.0.3) :
lh_config -a amd64 -b usb-hdd -d lenny -m http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian -p 
standard-x11 --bootappend-live "locale=fr_BE.UTF-8 keyb=be" --debian-installer 
enabled --hostname "xxx" --iso-application "xxx" --iso-preparer "Laurent 
Léonard" --iso-publisher "xxx" --iso-volume "xxx" --mirror-binary-security 
http://security.debian.org --mirror-binary http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian --
packages "autofs5 dosfstools fluxbox gdm gkrellm gparted iceweasel iceweasel-
l10n-fr kdelibs4c2a lighttpd ntfsprogs ocsinventory-agent partimage smbfs 
xnetcardconfig zenity"

I juste regenerated it with lh_config from Live-helper 1.0.4 and now it works, 
the difference is the default value of LH_SYSLINUX_MENU. It was disabled by 
default in 1.0.3 and now it is enabled by default.

I prefer to have a menu for Syslinux but, when LH_SYSLINUX_MENU is disabled (I 
think it is not a missconfiguration), it should work too.
