It seems that cdrom-retriever does care about both main and local:
Release="$CDMNT/dists/$suite/Release"
[...]
components="`grep ^Components: $Release | cut -d' ' -f2-`"
ret=1
for comp in $components; do
and my debian-cd generated Release file is ok (both main and local are
listed).
The strange thing is that I know for sure that it was possible to load
home made udebs from the local component (that's what I did for
A/DeMuDi 1.2.0, but I do not need extra udebs anymore), and I believe
it's still possible to do it. I don't understand why this doesn't
apply to the base-installer udeb too..
Anyway the simplest thing is that #254996 gets fixed, is there any
chance to get it into Sarge? I can work on it, just tell what approach
should implement.
Cheers,
