I tested a netinst build with the additional udebs available in
localudebs/, and as intended and expected they were *not* included.

But I also wanted to test "CD" builds.  Unfortunately setting LOCAL +
LOCALDEBS + UPDATE_LOCAL changes the behaviour of various scripts in
debian-cd so all the extra packages get copied into a separate directory
in the image.  To test the behaviour of an official build with new
packages present, it appears that I would need to somehow merge the new
packages into my mirror.  And I can't see how to do that.

Unless someone can help me to create that merged archive, I'm afraid I
will have to test this after linux-6.12 is in bookworm-proposed-updates,
and fix any breakage then.

Ben.
