There are two different types of images being built to create a CD image. The one currently not beeing built is the d-i image. That's the kernel image and initrd that ends up on the CD. The other is the CD image which is built, but uses the outdated d-i image. So the udebs you have on your CD in the pool directory are taken from the mirrors by the CD build, but the udebs unpacked inside your initrd are still those from June. Hope this clears things up.
