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


these two are handled by the commandline options which you included
below (--locale and --keyboard) ... specifying them in the preseed file
won't work- just use the commandline, or specify in
profiles/KDEPROFILE.conf:

 locale=fr_FR
 keyboard=fr-latin1


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


specifying a question twice will not work... it will select one or the
other, but not both.

also, simple-cdd makes no attempt to include packages specified with
this question. best to add them to profiles/KDEPROFILE.packages.


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)


the --profiles-udeb-dist option is merely to pull the
simple-cdd-profiles udeb, which is what handles all the simple-cdd stuff
in debian-installer. because simple-cdd wasn't included in etch, you
need to get the simple-cdd-profiles udeb from sid or lenny. if it's
already in the mirror that simple-cdd generates from a previous run,
then you don't actually need to specify it again.

First strange behaviour:
I didn't say anything about partitionning, but the install only asks me while partitionning is already finished. 

yes, profiles/default.preseed has some automatic partitioning selected
by default, but still asks the question before it does anything
data-destructive.
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. 

it doesn't appear that the packages you selected in
profiles/KDEPROFILE.packages has anything that depends on kdm, so kdm is
not likely present on your CD image.

live well,

Hi Vagrant,
Thanks for your answer. I didn't reply sooner because I wasn't at my office yesterday. Well, I tried to apply all your advices and it seems to work much more better. Bu I still have a problem : kdm starts, but my machine remains in console mode. 
In /var/log/syslog, I see that X server dies.
When I try to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it says that xserver-xorg was not installed. 
(I was a little bit surprised not to be asked about display configuration).
I asked to install this package, and added it to my profile/KDEPROFILE.packages and profile/KDEPROFILE.preseed. 
So, where is the mistake ?

Thanks.
Is there a place where I could find a more detailed documentation about this tools, in order not to annoy the whole list with such newbies questions ? 

Alain
