Yes, that sounds reasonable, but only when we drop support for
dpkg-multicd users and assume everyone is using apt. It's currently
deprecated, so we could happily drop it from woody CDs I think. The
point of _not_ labelling the non-US CDs explicitly is so that the sets
look identical in other respects, reducing the amount of work (and
disk space) needed to create and store them.
