Unfortunately you also need to somehow get the new kernel into the d-i
part, which requires a few other steps using other packages/sources.
Updating the packages on the cd is actually the easy part (and just
replacing the files and updating Packages.gz from an existing netinst cd
is much easier than figuring out all the settings in debian-cd, and much
faster too I find).
