D-I Team: What happens if udebs are added the pool outside d-i?

Hi,

I've got a project I've been working on in fits and starts that I'd like to use d-i for. I'm working on a utility system that allows restore/rescue/repair/modification of a linux system (the restore is to be a local or networked restore of systems backed up using amanda) and the backup/imaging of linux/windows/mac systems. I've decided I want to switch to doing this using d-i (by submitting patches to package maintainers that will create udebs), but I want to make sure that, assuming the maintainers are willing to add the patches, that the new udebs won't cause problems for d-i proper.

I'm hoping that the udebs don't mean anything to d-i unless the d-i build scripts pull them in as specifically directed and therefore don't impact on d-i unless you want them to.

Regards,

Daniel
