I definitely thought about how to handle that when I implemented that
feature, and decided to go for the simplicity of only supporting newer
releases. What about the following:

diff --git a/build-simple-cdd b/build-simple-cdd

I recall debian-cd having poor support for building images other than
the running distro, so you may also need to get fixes into debian-cd for
that to work... or run your builds in a chroot of compatible
distribution.


I'm not sure how much energy I want to put into support for oldstable in
general; I am not particularly fond of special casing on a
per-distribution level.


live well,
