RE: linux-image issue
If Im not mistaken the priority in the control file is optional. As to whether or not I have re-built with a fresh mirror, I have done both as I have experimented with this situation. I tend to favor starting over by wiping the tmp/ that gets created by issuing a rm -rf tmp. I have found that doing so tends to lessen errors and unexpected outcomes. (I can't give a specific example of this, other than if I changed a package, but left it named the same, it would not build the new version of the package into the system. I believe I understand why that happens, but nevertheless...)
Its an interesting suggestion to run without --local-packages. How would simple-cdd know where to get my linux-image deb (since its in the dir defined by local-packages argument) if I do not provide it? For the sake of completeness, I will go ahead and run again without providing local-packages and leaving my linux-image deb in the .downloads file and see what happens. I will also be doing this having just removed the tmp/ created by simple-cdd.
I'll report back in a little while with another response.
Thanks again for responding to my questions. I appreciate your efforts to help and frankly what simple-cdd represents as a piece of software.

thanks for this information.
do you get the same error when running without including --local-packages ?
have you re-built with a fresh mirror? i.e. wiped out
$your_simple_cdd_workdir/tmp and started over?

what's the priority set on the custom linux-image package?
lesspipe linux-image*.deb | egrep -i priority
live well,
