simple-cdd 0.3.4 from Sid.
debian-cd 3.0.2 from Etch.

I run an up-to-date Debian Etch. I did
aptitude install debian-cd reprepro
since I already had the remaining simple-cdd dependencies already
installed. Then I downloaded simple-cdd from Sid and installed it
usind dpkg.

I'm trying to build a Etch CD, including main, contrib an non-free
packages both from the main repositories and also from
debian-multimedia.org. There will also be a couple of local packages.

Created a work directory, cd into it, created
profiles/Escritorio.packages with the list of desired packages and
profiles/Escritorio.preseed with several debconf preseeds. Also
created simple-cdd.conf and then ran
simple-cdd --conf simple-cdd.conf --profiles-udeb-dist sid --do-mirror
Everything worked fine. Got the "package nod found" error I wrote
about a couple of weeks ago, but solved it by manually checking for
Provides in the dependency list. Up to that point I was only using
packages in main.
Then tried adding w32codecs from debian-multimedia.org, and it worked fine.
Then tried adding msttcorefonts which is contrib and several packages
in non-free (mostly linux kernel modules and WiFi firmware) and it did
not download the packages at all.

This is the way I'm doing it. The conf-file mentiones the profile I
want included (Escritorio, which is spanish for Desktop) and some
other options, but only the ones I need (like using spanish, Venezuela
as country...).

I added
export CONTRIB=1
export NONFREE=1
to simple-cdd.conf
