(This question expired a few months ago, but for completeness I'll add a delayed answer)

The command:

dd if=/dev/<partition> of=sources/rootfs-$(uname -m).img

creates an image of a whole partition and is not recommended, because if you have a partition of many GB, this will indeed take of course a very long time...

Also, running an installation twice on the same file system results in errors because it should not be done :)
You can not add packages to an existing installed system. LFScript is (at the moment) not a package manager. Currently, LFScript can only install a single complete system.
This may change in the future (as LFScript is in active development) but for now you should format the partition, then run ./lfscript and specify ALL packages you want. If you really later want to add packages later, extract them manually (but I recommend a reinstall over this approach).
