Ah. Missed the alldeps switch. thx. But even if I try to remove all of the 
listed packages the conflict still happens. And I don't want either xulrunner 
nor firefox on the livecd. 
Or is this maybe somehow related to the way livecd-creator checks the 
dependencies? Maybe because the defined packages are removed _after_ the 
check?

I will try it with a modified local repo. But IMHO the best way get it work 
with the mirrors.
