From the simple-cdd README:

  Language and Country Selection

  to pre-select the language and country, it is recommended to use the
  --locale commandline option:

   build-simple-cdd --locale en_US

You could also specify it in a profile, e.g. profiles/miconfig.conf:

  locale=es_AR

This is because preseeding isn't read until after the questions for
locale are asked. You may be able to set the auto-install/enable=true
option, as described here:

  https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs04.html#preseed-l10n

Not sure here.

Does the file /cdrom/preseed/copiar.sh exist at the time that command is
being run? Is the CD or USB .iso mounted at an alternate location?

The .postinst would have to copy a file into the chroot and then run it.


live well,
