Kali experts,

I am trying to build my own Kali ISO using the GNOME variant. I went into the directory "live-build-config/kali-config/variant-gnome/package-lists" and modified the kali.list.chroot file. However, in precedence to doing so I made a backup copy of it in the same directory. Whence I execute the build.sh script, is it going to see (and use) the backup file as well? If so, then I need to put the backup file somewhere else of course (no problem) but am just curious.
