simple-cdd defaults to just using main.

to also use contrib and non-free, in profiles/default.conf (or any
profiles/*.conf you're using):

  mirror_components="main contrib non-free"

look in $your_simple_cdd_dir/tmp/cd-build/$DIST/*log* (log.list2cds.i386 on my
test lenny install) for a file that contains the dependency resolution. it may
require additional packages you already had on your initial system.

the --local-packages handling has no way of discovering where the package came
from, so it sticks it in the default component.
