With a good FTP program, fetch the entire
{contrib,non-free,non-US/non-free}/binary-{i386,all}/
directories; the FTP program "should" preserve symlinks. (If it doesn't,
that's fine, but then you don't need the binary-all dirs.)
Then organize these dirs in a way that you see on the Official CDs (including
the stable,unstable,frozen->potato symlinks(!)); make an appropriate
.disk/info file, mkisofs and be happy ;-) You don't need to make
Packages.cd(.gz) files, apt-cdrom only uses the Packages.gz's that are just
those found on the FTP sites. It also shouldn't matter that you have certain
contrib/ packages on two CDs.
