in the future, please post to debian-custom@lists.debian.org instead, so
that others can possibly answer your questions and benefit from the
answers.

sounds like that should be pretty good.

ok, well, "http://"; is the first issue. the second issue is that even if
you had used the double-slash "//" it's not really a branch.

check out http://wiki.debian.org/Simple-CDD/Bzr for a list of branches.

you'll need to use a custom debian-cd directory, as debian-cd in lenny
has not yet been updated. 

 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-cd/trunk debian-cd

and set in a configuration file:

 debian_cd_dir="/full/path/to/debian-cd"

and specify the configuration file with:

 build-simple-cdd --conf /path/to/configuration/file

good luck!

and please just respond to the list, not to me directly- i'll read the
list.

live well,
