That will require running dpkg-scanpackages in order to recreate correctly, or just do:
cat dists/unstable/main/binary-<arch>/Packages >> /mirror/dists/unstable/main/binary-<arch>/Packages
P.S.: I am not sure if the command above will need some tweaking (echo >>/mirror/..../Packages between the ones above) or if they would work imediately; what I know for sure is that I did the trick with dpkg-scanpackages on woody, and it worked. FWIW, I don't see any reason for it not to work.
