He has genisoimage, however he doesn't have mkisofs... and debian-cd
uses mkisofs by default. And when simple-cdd calls debian-cd it will fail
with something like this:

mkisofs -r -V Debian unstable i386 Bin-1 -o 
/home/rhertzog/slis/svn/slis/d-i/images/debian-unstable-i386-CD-1.iso -J 
-cache-inodes -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot 
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table boot1 CD1
/home/rhertzog/slis/svn/slis/d-i/tmp//debian-cd/tools/make_image: line 82: 
mkisofs: command not found


I would say that this is a bug in debian-cd. In fact I already committed a
change in debian-cd so that it uses genisoimage in priority and fallbacks to
mkisofs if it's not available.

Work-around is to export MKISOFS=genisoimage from any simple-cdd configuration
or to install mkisofs.
