i think the first upload of simple-cdd (and thus, simple-cdd-profiles)
was accepted into debian on Sat, 21 Apr 2007 19:32:00 +0000. so it is no
surprise that such an old repository wouldn't have it. :)

beyond wondering why on earth you would want that specific date...

you could manually download the simple-cdd-profiles udeb from sid and
include it with the --local-packages instead of --profiles-udeb-dist
option. that's probably the simplest route to go. and ditch
--profiles-udeb-dist entirely.

you may also have to tweak profiles/default.* as it assumes you at least
have etch ... dropped support for sarge a while ago...

and just a little reminder, simple-cdd tends to work better the more you
stick within debian.

live well,
