Nothing for now, because I still hope that the ISO will be build with
the official infrastructure. I don't want to spend too much time on
something that could be obsolete shortly. I also prbably know where is
the bug (same that the same time), I just need to spend some minutes
to focus on this.

See last comment.

Yes, sorry about that. I'm the one to blame :-/
I try to document the wiki for all the maintenance stuff here :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/

I also work a lot with Launchpad to follow bugs :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-packaging/+packagebugs

I also planned to push the packaging work on git (with the debian
one). It's something that I always postpone because I was the only
packager. If you plan to work on this, I can push them during the
week-end.

I hope I'm complete enough, just ping me on IRC or on the mailing list
during the week-end if you need more information.
