As far as that goes I have now found a way to make a custom Debian CD the way I want it (and quite easily). I'll explain here just in case anyone is curious.
Basically what I've done is taken the Debian net-installer CD and added a new directory containing all the packages and prerequisites of the software I want. I then wrote a script which is put into the startup folder and, at first boot, uses dpkg to install all the new software and then delete itself.

Its a bit of a hack job, but it works for me.
