If you can't get the CD writing working, you can set up one machine as
a server and restore the image across the network.

Of course, this assumes that the box you're building will have network access...

Regarding building a .deb from the package: who cares if anyone else
will use it? If it makes your life easier, do it anyway! You can
always make it available if anyone else is interested, but the main
reason for building the .deb is to make it easier for you to install
it again and again.

Hwyl,
Neil.
