Thanks for the bug report! I just confirmed this. I am 95% certain that the only thing the version number is used for is the ISO file name. The name specified with --dist is what is actually used to select what packages to download and include on the ISO image, and what the resulting ISO is named internally. You can work around this issue by creating a jessie profile in profiles/jessie.conf: CODENAME=jessie DEBVERSION=8 and then: build-simple-cdd --profiles=jessie > Is building a CD for an old distribution still supported? Try to, but there are sometimes bugs. When simple-cdd tries to build a different --dist or CODENAME it shouldn't assume it's the same as the host system, or at the very least, unset the DEBVERSION value. Will look into it at some point. live well, vagrant
