I managed to build a CD, but it seems I'm doing some things wrong:

The second part is the tar fix I mentioned. The third part the the extra 
local directory: I want to add an extra txt file to the root of the CD
and some files to the tools/ subdirectory.

The first part, though, is my current work around not being able to get
the local debs into the CD. It seems some of you use simple-cdd to
produce a CD with some locally-created packages. So I ask once again:
HOW?????
