So as it seems that I am asked to re-write my question to be more of an open question, let me state it this way.
Can someone please show me the proper way to allow D-I to accept standard DEB packages into the core build of D-I? If this is not possible, then it seems that I will have to convert all of the unmet dependencies from DEB packages to uDEB packages.
