It's not naive, it's just not yet completely implemented.

The problem I have is figuring out where the forks are in the lh_* scripts.  
The fork between debootstrap/cdebootstrap is easy to see, but take for 
instance the bootloaders and linux-image, and which lh_binary_$image scripts 
ddepend on which bootloaders.  I'm sorry if I don't make much sense here,
but I am still browsing around the code, and not as familiar as you are with 
it.  I guess I still need more time to go through everything.

I was just thinking that a script called lh_binary_image that runs the for 
loop across $L_B_Images and call the lh_bin_iso/hdd separately.

Not really, except a zaurus.  I made a machine with dual p3's and 4 scsi
drives.  That's the fastest disks I ever came across.  The only way I know to 
escape the disk bottleneck is to use tmpfs.  I used to build my debian 
packages in tmpfs in the past because it was so much quicker.

ok, I just subscribed.
