why do they have to be in a seperate directory? If the packages are updates  
for existing packages, create the update directory on the installation source 
(I can explain it again but it is in the archive of this list too).
If they are new packages which are new to the installation source, copy them 
to all the other packages an rebuild the package database like I explained.

where is this way of adding own packages to an installation source documented?

if you go my way, it will look like this:

    <software>
      <addons config:type="list">
        <addon>Min</addon>
      </addons>
      <base>Minimal</base>
      <packages config:type="list">
        <package>MyOwnPackage</package>
      </packages>
    </software>

no need for creating a selection file too.
