Well, I'm producing sarge CDs on a weekly basis too, just not public
ones at the moment. I've also made several sets of woodyrX CDs
recently. Debian-cd may be a minority package, as it has a very large
dependency (a mirror), but there are quite a few people using it
successfully. It's not easy to use (and quite probably never will be)
as it's a very specialised piece of software. There are substantial
changes waiting for after the sarge release, not least the huge
performance increase from my own JTE code. Please feel free to join in
discussion on the debian-cd list if you have suggestions for other
changes.
