I'm doing it half-"automated" half-manually because I have some special
requirements (all ARCHs on one CD, include everything from contrib that's not
on the official CDs, include my own stuff, etc.).
AFAIK debian-cd can make a non-free CD allright, if that's what you need.
But since it isn't very much, you could also mirror it directly from the FTP
servers, or even smarter, install a webcache that keeps downloaded .debs
forever (well, a few months at least).
