liveusb-creator 3.11.6-33+feature.uefi.1

However, I don't think that's relevant as I was testing *DVD* boot from
the image I built. This was what I though the known issue was about
after I confirmed that DVD boot doesn't work with older VirtualBox
versions, like the one in Wheezy.

For the record, USB emulation in VirtualBox requires a proprietary
module which I'm not using, and doubt we want to support.

Am I missing something here?

Cheers!
