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.
