Well the problem was that some arch=all packages weren't in binary-all as
expected and debian-cd assumed they were there. Now I'm checking it before
assuming it. :) The problem was in tools/add_packages.
The problem is now fixed in CVS. The only error that I get is with trn which
is non-free but has a section field of "news" instead of "non-free/news".
I think it will be corrected by today's upload ...
<to debian-cd in general>
BTW, people, do you know how far we are wrt the non-i386 boot disks ? I'm
still using different code depending on the arch and i'd like to get rid
of that before uploading a good package to frozen...

$OUT should be defined since it's where you'll put your images. So it must
be a misunderstanding of your part. The directory where you want to put
your images should exist and that's what i'm checking with this $(OUT) ...

Have you already burned good CD with a symlink farm ?
