I had read the doc/* before I started. Obviously I had missed
build/README, but I have now read that, more than once, and the
information I need is not there.

I have already pointed out one error in the documentation, and here's
another:
[summer@gw summer]$ lynx -dump http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/debian-installer/

                                   Not Found

   The  requested  URL  /~tfheen/debian-installer/  was not found on
this
   server.

Please, take the time to check that the documentation you want me to
read is correct, and has pointers to necessary supplementary material
such as relevant sections of the Developer's Reference.

Also, check that you provide "complete source code" as described in the
GPL. I have the feeling that the files and /or scripts to make the
package is missing.
