I put it in to the local_packages in the config file. It included on the
CD but the installer didn't offer at the install time. The kernel
package is made by someone else at the company. He maybe made a mistake
at the creation. Is there any way to check if the .deb is fulfill the
requirements?

I meant the CD label but you are right my question was
misunderstandable. On my mother language name and label are synonims. :-)
So my question is: Is there any way to change the ISO label in the
created .iso image?
Sure, please take a look at BINDISKINFO variable, more information at
/usr/share/doc/simple-cdd/examples/simple-cdd.conf.detailed

This way is not acceptable at this point :-( The software is huge and
has a complex, interactive install script.
We want to create a .deb package from it, but it's not the highest
priority. All I need is to show a list of some items at the end of the
installation like the simple_cdd_profiles do. Then I can write the
postinstall script. I hope :-)
Do you need to ask for user input or just run a postinst script?
