Hi,

Sorry but I'm not familiar with internal details of ISOs, and I guess 
there is no ready tool can merge two ISOs together. After a quick look 
on dists/, I think these files are in same format with theses on online 
mirrors, so referring apt's documentation might be useful. Also I found 
these files are just plain texts (or gzipped plain texts), the format 
might be very simple, I think.
