Found a solution! Place the myprofile.packages, myprofile.preseed etc... in /usr/share/simple-cdd/profiles directory. put myprofile.conf in my-simple-cdd where you run the command from. Add files you want copied over to the image in all_extras="". Add your profile name to profiles="". Run like build-simple-cdd --profiles-udeb-dist sid --conf myprofile.conf. Only tried this with one file in the all_extras="/complete/path/to/yourfile". But it included it in the dvd image as /simple-cdd/myfile. Also under the same directory is the myprofile.preseed, myprofile.postinst.....
