If you have to do just one then no problem.
I used to have to change a lot of udebs or debs to test sarge CDs so I
made myself a mirror with just the netinst debs and udebs using
reprepro and added localy modified packages to that. After that it's
just running the D-I build script and then the debian-cd build script
to test.
After the first two or three times this is much easier overall.
