debian-cd should handle pools fine; AFAIK it puts every package on its
original location (so you will get a partially filled dists/potato/ on woody
or sid CDs).
However, the current CVS version is broken in that it attempts to include
authentication stuff that apt doesn't handle. The "off22r3" branch should do
better in that aspect, check it out with
cvs checkout -AP -r off22r3 -f debian-cd
(more CVS details on http://cdimage.debian.org/ch32.html)
