I actually gave up on Simple-cdd post inst scripts, debug is tedious
and very long.

It is far easier to debug package postinst.

To add your packages to the built distrib, simply:
- create a folder and push all local packages there
- tell about this folder to simple-cdd (may also put that in conf
file): simple-cdd --local-packages
- tell that your need at least top packages (the ones depending on
others) in a file named $simple-cdd/profiles/yourProfile.packages
- add the non-free option if they are non-free (or other category), in
$simple-cdd/profiles/yourProfile.conf:
mirror_components="main non-free"


It works pretty well for me, it computes dependencies and install smoothly.
