My case is unusual. I am using
lb config --mode debian
to create Ubuntu live system. I knew it's not normal but it solved one
issue when I was using live-build v3 long time ago.
Therefore I have to use the option --parent-mirror-binary-updates to
assign the utopic-updates or vivid-updates repository.
Without "--parent-mirror-binary-updates", it will use the that from
Debian repository, like
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ utopic-updates main univese
Apparently you can see the above line does not make sense.
Anyway, my case is really unusual. Although it's more flexible to have
"--parent-mirror-binary-updates", yet I believe you could ignore that.
Thanks.

Steven.
