Frans Pop gave a good tutorial on this at debconf6,
http://debconf6.debconf.org/comas/general/proposals/32.html
There is a video of the talk at,
http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2006/debconf6/mpeg1-nt
sc/2006-05-18/tower/Debian_installer_workshop-Frans_Pop.mpeg
More video formats at,
http://www.decadent.org.uk/cgi-bin/debconf6-video-status.py
A google search on the talk title turned up the slides,
http://people.debian.org/~fjp/talks/debconf6/paper/
I suspect there might be additional documentation on this stuff, maybe someone
else on the list knows?
I found this in the wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/BuildingUDebs
maybe you can fix it up as you become a udeb expert :)
If you still need help the debian-boot list might be a good place to ask too
as they are the primary udeb users.
