Sounds like the bug is in syslinux, so retargeting to that package.

I think fixing syslinux would be better than working around it in usb-
creator.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: usb-creator
  
  i get this error when booting:  SYSLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 EBIOS 
Copyright (c) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
  Unknown keyword in configuration file
  boot:
  
  apparently this is also a problem in Lucid:  http://www.khattam.info
  /solved-syslinux-unknown-keyword-in-configuration-file-2010-09-01.html
  
  will try instructions on khattam website, but wanted to create a bug
  first, in case others are out there.
  
+ [Workaround]
+ Another solution is to open your USB flash, open filé /syslinux/syslinux.cfg, 
find the word ui and remove it along with it's following space. Done :-)
