Bug#1011343: WISHLIST: Offical ALL-IN-ONE images?

Hi,

Some good news, I tested:

1) Build my unofficial DVD set (17 DVDs), and merge them using the merge 
script on my Debian machine.

2) Build my unofficial DLBD set (2 DLBDs), and merge them using the 
merge script on my Debian machine.

3) Merge 2 DLBDs using the merge script under a Alpine Linux environment 
(everything is almost busybox).

4) Run d-i cdrom-check on merged.iso from 1), 2), and 3).

5) Do fresh install into virtual machine, then install random packages 
selected from {SOME-ISO-NAME}.list.gz .

These experiments all succeeded. Thank you very much! Good Job! :)

I think runtime is not a issue, 50 seconds is totally acceptable. But if 
you really want to reduce runtime I would suggest using `sort -s -u -k 2 
merged_md5sum.txt' instead of processing each line by hand. By using 
stable sort (`-s') and unique (`-u'), only first record of duplicate set 
will be output. So as long as md5sum.txt in Disc1 comes first, it will 
definitely in final result. I saw there are some other logic to process 
md5 records from different group of files, so we can use `grep' and 
`grep -v' to split them, process them separately, then merge them 
finally. Unfortunately the option `-s' of `sort' is not standard 
(although widely accepted), and BusyBox has bugs about it and must use 
`sort -s -k 2 | uniq -f 1' to workaround (Link: 
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=14871).


Thank you again :)
