No that's wrong and not possible ! It's not the standard apt-get update
that is launched, but it's called via tools/apt-selection which gives many
options to apt and it does use a source.list file that only contains lines
with file:/ URI and not any HTTP or FTP URI.

?! If you launch make list a second time, nothing is done if you haven't
cleaned your tree ... that's what Makefiles are about, not doing things
twice it it's not needed. :) If you want to start again everything, please
do a make distclean before (it's automatically done in build.sh).

You :
- either don't have a complete debian-cd tree
- or have misconfigured your CONF.sh (you probably have a bad BASEDIR
setting...)

I've added some lines in my working copy, it will be added in the next
version.

Error shouldn't occur if make mirrorcheck passes successfully and if you
have configured correctly your variables (in CONF.sh).
