Well, I followed your advice and tried to make a "simple" install from 
the current Debian repository:
I created a profiles/KDEPROFILE.packages containing the following lines:
kde
kde-i18n-fr
And a profiles/KDEPROFILE.preseed containing:
d-i debian-installer/locale string fr_FR
d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select fr
d-i clok-setup/utc boolean true
d-i time/zone string Europe/Paris
d-i pkgsel/include string standard kde-desktop
d-i pkgsel/include string kde-i18n-fr
d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note

I then launched the following command:
build-simple-cdd --locale fr_FR --keyboard fr-latin1  --profiles KDEPROFILE
(I didn't really understood the meaning of the --profiles-udeb option)

First strange behaviour:
I didn't say anything about partitionning, but the install only asks me 
while partitionning is already finished.
Install seems to succeed, but when my PC reboots, I see the message: 
"Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled". And of course, 
kdm wasn't launched.
Any idea ?

Oups, sorry
