Thanks.  Due to a firewall, I'll have to use http.

base-images-* are tarballs of the packages unpacked by
debootstrap.  If the packages are already included on the CD
(via tasks/base-woody), base-images-* does not need to be.

They are generated at different times by different groups.  As
long as no packages were removed between versions, it should be
fine.
