OK. The debian-cd_info.tar.gz file is provided by the debian-installer
people, and contains all the bits of config that debian-cd needs to be
able to generate working bootable media for each platform
(e.g. isolinux config files). We use it from the archive, but it
doesn't go on the CDs/DVDs itself.

Grab the /dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/ directory from a local
mirror and put it in place in your working filesystem and that should
work.

Apologies for this not being easy, we normally work from a full mirror
when creating the CD images.
