Building Debian CD with custom packages

[Sajjad Lateef <slateef@nicira.com>]

I am working on building a CD with Debian lenny base, with some local
packages and their dependencies.

Using debian-cd/easy-build.sh, I was able to get a base install ISO
with my local packages on it.
I see that the ISO contains about 1100+ packages in the pool directory
and weighs in at ~670MB
But, only a few of my custom deb files make it into the ISO (very
likely due to CD size limitations).

How do I trim the packages in the pool directory to only those needed
for a base install with my custom
deb packages and their dependencies?

I found this webpage, but, it really is quite confusing.
