I don't consider the "local" tree like a random thing when it
has been supported by debian-cd for several years. The fact that it
can be used to provide updated versions of base packages was never
neither documented nor working of course, but I believe it to be useful
... and it doesn't require a costly change.

That's a stupid requirement, it's so easy to put it in a local tree
and it's so difficult to update it in the main tree. Please reconsider
adding local as an accepted source for packages (even base packages).
Using local/main instead local is just silly and requires unnecessary
changes in debian-cd.
