Hmmm. Scattered? I'm just looking at my most recent images (28/7)
right now. I could even force CD#1 bigger at a push:

A list of the task-* packages show all of them but task-japanese and
task-polish on CD#1 (or CD 1_NONUS). Those two both ended up on
CD#2. Maybe they would fit in the extra 10MB or so on CD#1, maybe not
- I'd guess that maybe the task-japanese package will depend on some
big things like fonts? (Checking: yes - lots of fonts, plus another
emacs?) And task-polish needs manpages-pl-dev, wpolish,
doc-linux-pl-html, xfonts-biznet-iso-8859-2-100dpi. Which might
fit. I'd suggest moving task-polish above task-japanese in the list
then - I'm checking now to see if it will make the cut then.

Hmmm. What _exactly_ do you mean by nominated packages? I'm curious so
I can reproduce what you've done here...

Check the Makefile:
# Build the raw list (cpp output) with doubles and spaces
$(BDIR)/rawlist:
ifdef FORCENONUSONCD1
@find $(NONUS)/dists/$(CODENAME) | grep binary-.*/.*deb | \
sed 's/.*\///g;s/_.*//g' | sort | uniq > $(BDIR)/Debian_$(CODENAME)_nonUS
endif
It's automatically generated from the contents of the non-US
mirror. That way we don't have to worry about it getting out of step.
