Maybe the problem is, that the package live-debconfig is only available
in Debian Sid and not in wheezy? With a modified preseed file that
selects sid instead of wheezy everything works like a charm.

An additional question though:

Even though I have the following lines in my preseed file:

live-debconfig live-debconfig/hostname/hostname string debian
live-debconfig live-debconfig/ifupdown/eth0-method select dhcp
live-debconfig live-debconfig/selinux/enable boolean false
live-debconfig live-debconfig/sysvinit/lxc-enable boolean true
live-debconfig live-debconfig/sysvinit/lxc-consoles string 6

the live-debconfig configuration still asks for all those values. How do
I avoid that it asks for them but instead uses the values I supply in my
preseed file?

cheers, josch
