Let me propose the following:
  We are not going to do such a thing for the official images on
  cdimage.debian.org (and its mirrors); people who want this have to do it
  themselves. For informative purposes, a description of this scheme might be
  added to the YACS documentation if such a description is posted on this list
  or (preferably) sent directly to the YACS maintainer.

Anyone disagree?

If not, this discussion ends here.
