Let me say that this is quite impossible. Latest CVS debian-cd builds good
image of the latest Debian version. You can't expect it to build all
version of Debian correctly since we do so many changes to the structure
of our mirror that it's simply not reasonable to expect that.
When I release a version as a package I usually try to not forget to tag
them ... those tags are a good start to start a branch for maintaining
debian-cd for old versions of Debian. A bit like you did (it's only that
you hadn't those tags because you wanted latest and greatest from what was
in CVS).
But please let HEAD be the main development tree ...

For sure, i'll try to not forget tagging files before doing big changes
so that it will be easy to get the latest working version.

What changes do you want for 2.2r4 ? I expect the code from 2.2r3 to still
work when 2.2r4 comes out ...
