Mmmm, this should already be the case with images starting from Etch.

But if you want to produce images, what you basically need is getting
the sources of debian-installer (apt-get source debian-installer),
and run make in build/. That will fetch udebs from debian mirrors and
build the debian installer. If you want to put your own debian-udeb
package, copy it into localudebs/, and make sure that location is set in
sources.lists.udeb.local if that file exists.

I strongly recommend not using the unstable version of debian-installer,
because it usually doesn't build :). The testing or stable version
should be fine.

dfsbuild only manages what .debs are put on the CDs, not what .udebs are
run by the installer.
