Here are some notes that I took during our chat:

 - Steve liked what we are doing \o/
 - there are things simple-cdd does that debian-cd probably will never
   do, like preseeding, so debian-cd will never entirely replace
   simple-cdd even if in the future it will gain the possibility of
   building from remote repositories
 - we could use sha256sum files as MANIFESTs for downloads of doc/ and
   tools/ over HTTP; however, there are no checksum files for those
   directories in the mirrors. I went to report it, and found #752134
   already reported by Vagrant
 - I asked if there is a documentation of all debian-cd environment
   variables: there is in the toplevel conf.sh, except for a couple of
   minor variables that are developer-only things. If descriptions are
   not clear, or something else should be documented, Steve asked to let
   him know and he'll take care of it.
 - I wondered about dependency resolution and hwo come we get
   console-setup-freebsd in the local mirror, which then edos-debcheck
   complains about. Turns out the way we resolve dependencies is pretty
   good, and console-setup-freebsd should just not be on amd64. #619328
   tracks this, but it's tagged wontfix. If it's just for that package
   we can implement a per-distro, per-arch blacklist, or alternatively
   just ignore the warning.
