You have to build all the udebs manually and put them into
build/localudebs. Even if you tell the build script to compile the
udebs (debug versions will do that) it will download the sources from
the archive and build those.
There is a Makefile in the top level of the "mrvn" branch that I use
to rebuild all d-i udebs (other udebs are still needed that are not
part of the cvs). You might have to tweak the depends and targets for
your arch, haven't generalized it.
If you realy want to build everything from scratch I suggest you
create a local apt repository (create sources.list.udeb.local and
point it to your repository). You can use dpkg-scanpackages to create
the Packages file for any udebs you compiled. Start with the udebs
build from cvs and see what it fails to download then.
