Did he? [1]
I would assume a simple CD build script, that adds each udeb to the first CD.
I think giving a list of D-I team approved udebs, to that build script,
will improve the situation.

My advice: Delete the above text and take a different approach.
Expect that "addition of udebs with best intensions" will occure again.
This project will have enthousiastic contributors that seen no harm
in adding a udeb to archive. Forbidding them to make that addition,
will scare them. And when contributors leave, the project will die.
Proposal:
Educate contributors. Explain why something went wrong.
Hint: Use:
Doing foo caused error bar.
(avoid: Because you did foo, we have now error bar )
