Sorry, I am replying to this mail so late...
There is some kind of release independence in the debian-cd script
available from cvs.debian.org. Which means they should work with
potato.
But I did not try to make complete debian-cd scripts (slink, potato
and an image do not fit onto my hd at the moment).
It is rather easy to make some update cd's from potato only cds. But
they are far from working smoothly, too.
