You need to set debian-cd's DISKTYPE variable to a size appropriate for
you.

In https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-cd/debian-cd.git/tree/CONF.sh
you'll find:

# Set your disk type here. Known types are:
# BC (businesscard): 650 MiB max (should be limited elsewhere,
#                    should never fill a CD anyway)
# NETINST:           650 MiB max (ditto)
# CD:                standard 74-min CD (650 MiB)
# CD700:             (semi-)standard 80-min CD (700 MiB)
# DVD:               standard 4.7 GB DVD
# DLDVD:             standard 8.5 GB dual-layer DVD
# BD:                standard 25 GB blu-ray
# DLBD:              standard 50 GB dual-layer blu-ray
# STICK1GB:          1GB USB stick or similar
# STICK2GB:          2GB USB stick or similar
# STICK4GB:          4GB USB stick or similar
# STICK8GB:          8GB USB stick or similar
# CUSTOM:            up to you - specify a size to go with it (in 2K blocks)
export DISKTYPE=CD

So, you can add this to any of your profile/*.conf files that you use
for building the image.


live well,
