Where is the live-build-config for BL?

I went throught the github repos, but was unable to find any live-build-config files. Something like was mentioned here. (nvm about the UEFI stuff) Are those published?

That is unless I've got it backwards, and something else is being used to generate the isos. But I could have sworn that I heard BL was using Debian's live-build system.

The configuration details are all already present on the ISO image

As much as I would love to, I don't think I'll have time to get around to diff'ing the entire filesystem against a vanilla debian install.

Very well, I will fetch my feeding spoon...

Download the BL ISO image then open a terminal in the Downloads folder and use:

sudo mount bl-Hydrogen-amd64_20160710.iso /mnt
bl-file-manager /mnt # have a look in isolinux/ and pool/main/p/preseed for the main bits ;)
sudo umount -R /mnt

Well, HoaS I think you're being a little bit disingenuous there.
There isn't really all that much useful information in the places you indicated.

@OP yes our isos are built with live-build at the moment, though that could change.
The differences between BL and plain Debian, though, are all in our bunsen-* packages. The full package list is in bunsen-meta-all, and the bulk of the configuration is done by bunsen-configs. No direct tweaking of the filesystem is done.

The netinstall script (another place to look) installs a pretty much identical system onto a cli Debian base.

Speaking of which John..I've been curious, is this, and will this always remain true? I know we're still in the early years, but does B.L's main goal to remain as close to the core Debian ISO as possible? Or is this just easiest for now, until later on where changes to the file system and larger more drastic differences to configs are viable?

That is, and will remain, the philosophy, as I understand it

^ That's my understanding too.
