Combining Distro DVD's

I thought it'd be a nice idea to combine any and all distribution media 
for a release into a single medium--a USB drive, of course. I'd start by 
creating my USB drive by extracting the first DVD to it, thereby 
ensuring the boot block and boot material is where it should be. But 
then what do I do with the additional media? Surely there will be some 
files with the same name among the individual pieces of media, and some 
will probably contain the same info while others probably will not. What 
do I have to watch for and make sure I don't overwrite, but add to, when 
extracting files from the additional disks to bag it all up and make a 
single medium which contains everything in one place?
