The benefits are keeping your changes separate from the system. The
maintinance is much simpler (it is feasible to maintain them under
version control).

I'm not exactly sure if Ubuntu uses Debian Live or something different
(ask its developers). But using it or similar methods save you from
reinventing the wheel.
