What problem are you seeing?

They basically use the same d-i build, but there may be differences in
how the rest of the image is built.

The debian-cd_info.tar.gz file is used by debian-cd when building the
netinst and larger images that we provide (e.g. CD, DVD, BD). It
contains soncifguration and text from the d-i build that are needed
for those larger CD/DVD builds.

To do that, you'll need to install debian-cd (preferably the version
from git master that's used for the daily builds) and a local mirror
to build with. The docs in debian-cd are out of date (sorry!) but
should give you a good start. If you need help, please ask here or in
irc (irc.debian.org, #debian-cd).
