Comment(by CarolineM):

 The boot-helper is related to a new installer method for this reason: our
 current method of formatting and installing SoaS on USB sticks cannot be
 read by the boot-helper. LVM snapshots are difficult to read outside of
 the context (in this case the kernel used in SoaS) in which they were
 created. Therefore, I suggested that we simply have raw EXT3/whatever on
 the flash drive, and mount them directly rather than using LVM.
